Architectural and Industrial
Viraver is a leader in the design and manufacture of flat and curved structural glazing, with cylindrical and spherical curvatures in large sizes in compliance with European regulations.
Our excellence is based on:
- High-performance glass curvatureup to 50 m x 3.10 m with cylindrical, spherical, and helical curvatures
- Chemical hardening of glassat record dimensions of 00 m x 3.21 m
- Customized solutions; safety glass with reduced thickness thanks to the use of structural plastic interlayers. Viraver products enhance prestigious international projects, including glass staircases and complex-shaped windows for iconic buildings.
Quality and safety certifications:
All Viraver architectural products comply with European Regulation 305/2011 and the harmonized Technical Standards for CE marking. The Declarations of Performance (DoP) are available upon request at the following email address.

Viraver, faithful to its DNA, has developed its vision of Integrated Project Management on a model of activities that are shaped on the needs of the customer, a winning factor in the creation of innovative products.
Case History
01.
Development
The Azerbaijan Pavilion for Expo Milano was an emblem of architectural innovation and sustainable design. Viraver created two curved glass spheres, each 10 meters in diameter, reinterpreting the Genoa Biosphere (BIFOR) with an innovative solution from a stylistic and technological point of view thanks to the use of cutting-edge materials and sag bending techniques.
02.
Design
The spheres represent the biodiversity and culture of a country where different elements coexist. Integrated into a modular and easily removable structure consisting of 680 rhomboid glass sheets with maximum dimensions of 3.00 m x 2.00 m. At the end of the Expo, the spheres were reassembled in Baku as a permanent installation, demonstrating the flexibility and sustainability of the project.
03.
Production
To create the two spheres, Viraver designed 36 custom moulds for a total glass surface of 1200 square meters. Viraver modelled the glass on the spheres, then curved them in the x, y axes thanks to the sag bending technology curvature, stratified and chemically hardened to guarantee their mechanical performance, perfect sphericity, and optical quality, as well as passive safety.
