VetroMount Balustrade System honoured with Red Dot Design Award
The VetroMount balustrade system (with General Building Inspection Test Certificate (AbP)) is based on the ingenious yet simple idea of the cable-tie principle, which makes its installation as easy as can be. This also convinced the international Red Dot Award Jury: They distinguished VetroMount as “Innovative Product 2020”. Bohle AG thus counts among the winners of the world´s most prestigious design competition and prove their development competence once again.
Apart from aesthetics, the Red Dot Jury also evaluated the selected materials, workmanship, ergonomics, and functionality. VetroMount scored particularly highly when it comes to functionality. Once the patented and pre-assembled glass bearings are inserted and equally spaced as a unit along the one-metre profile, followed by the glass pane, mounting is done in three intuitive steps: 1.) The pane is clamped into the glass bearing with the aid of two clamping wedges each. 2.) The glass inclination can be adjusted by hand without using any tools. 3.) The glass pane is safely anchored in the profile with the aid of a simple pull-push movement – based on the cable-tie principle. Done! All corresponding adjustments can be done comfortably from opposite the fall side.
About the Red Dot Design Award
With more than 18,000 entries, the Red Dot Award is one of the world’s largest design competitions. In 1955, a jury convened for the first time to assess the best designs of the day. In the 1990s, Red Dot CEO Professor Dr. Peter Zec developed the name and brand of the award. Ever since, the sought- after distinction “Red Dot” has been the revered international seal of outstanding design quality. The award winners are presented in the yearbooks, museums and online.
