GBH Glazing
Passion.
”Take 60 parts sand, 180 parts ash and 5 parts chalk, heat it all up and you get glass.”
A 2650-year-old Assyrian glass recipe, now preserved in the British Museum. This incredible tradition gives an idea of how fascinating glass must be.
Around 90 years after the Hahn glazier was founded, a German rhyme „And the glazier lives from the wind. Come glazier, come quickly, through the window blows the wind“, was written in 1915, a theme that is still part of our glazier’s core business today. And as early as 1709, a monk wrote: „To let the light into the house, use the pure panes.“ Today, glass technology offers us extra-clear, non-reflective, fire-resistant, insulating and safety glass that allows for ever more sophisticated uses of glass.
Glasbau Hahn is proud to have made two notable contributions to this 2650-year history of glass with the invention of glass cement before 1930 and suspended glazing in the 1950s. Glasbau Hahn owned in his history over 130 patents.
GBH Expertise
Competence.
Collection risk assessment
The museum display case is an exhibit’s last line of defence against accidents, vandalism, unauthorised access, attempted theft, catastrophic and terrorist attacks and conservation threats.
The planning of the ‚line of defence‘ depends on the risk assessment and resulting classification of the object or collection items.
Collections and individual objects are assessed according to their socio-cultural and political significance, fragility, monetary value and rarity, which determines the desired level of security.
We can help you protect valuable collections at all levels. Over 4000 collections worldwide are protected by Glasbau Hahn.
