Glass and adhesives in shipbuilding
30 years ago, Brombach + Gess was the first company to introduce glass bonding in commercial shipbuilding. A new mounting solution was needed for new design requirements such as continuous window bands or glass facades.Here, for the first time, glass was included in construction on a larger scale and was directly bonded to the ship’s structure.
Facade systems, which are common in onshore building, can only be used to a limited extent on ships, which are subject to movement and torsion during operation. Stress peaks, which lead to breakages and leaks over time, occur between the hull, facade systems and glass. As a result of these conditions, glass bonding suggested itself as a solution.
Today we and a team of specialists, certified as “European Adhesive Bonders” provide for ambitious projects in glass which are implemented reliably and in high quality. Our construction expertise covers smaller inland waterway vessels, river cruise vessels and even cruise ships for long trips.
Steel and Metal components
With our own metal processing company (B+G Metall GmbH & Co. KG) we are able to offer steel and metal components for our products. This allows us to respond flexibly to our customer wishes.
