Holiday homes For many home owners, additional convenience and more security within their own four walls are becoming ever more important issues – not only in the main residence but also in their holiday home. After all, most holiday homes are occupied for only a few weeks a year. Nobody wants to arrive on holiday to be faced with an unpleasant surprise.
Most holiday home owners have no desire to turn their homes into a fortress – after all their own space should have a welcoming feel. This is why there are discreet ways of protecting an empty home from unwelcome guests.

Frameless glass installation
Facades in glass pose a particular challenge to architects and planners. The structural elements have to be integrated into the building structure without impairing its transparent envelope. This is particularly true of building communication systems, which are generally integrated into facade elements. A new type of installation allows Siedle Steel to be integrated seamlessly into even bullet-proof glass.
Any Steel system can be installed in glass without an additional frame or any visible means of fixture. However, bullet-proof glass poses more stringent demands in terms of integration: For safety reasons, large-area interruption of these glass panes is not permitted. In this case, positioning the communication systems in a glass cut-out or as a panel between two glass elements is not possible.
To permit installation in bullet-proof glass facades, Siedle worked in cooperation with a facade manufacturer to design a fixing method which requires only small glass cut-outs positioned precisely to specification. Both the safety properties of the bullet-proof glass and the characteristic frameless appearance of the glass installation are maintained using this method. |

The aim is for all visitors to be able to access the building freely straight away - no matter whether they have any physical disabilities. Communication systems from Siedle to help make this happen.

 In 2010, Siedle unveiled its new IP-based communication system Siedle Access for the first time. Important development steps have now been completed, and the system is due to enter the field testing stage in June under real conditions.
"The hardware is ready, the system is capable of running and it now has a face", Jürgen Eschle, Head of Siedle Engineering summarizes the latest stage of development. The concierge software, the indoor station and the software client, which sends door calls and video images to the PC monitor, are now operating with user interfaces in their final definitive layout. Since June, Siedle experts have implemented the system in a number of selected pilot projects. Substantial benefits in terms of planning times and price calculations are already in evidence.
