Established in 1995 by Jean Francis, Diaspora was the first to introduce the outdoors glass covering systems in the region, whether for home balconies or restaurant terraces. The success was immediate, and, although many companies copied and introduced new systems, Cover remained the leader in the field. But the company didn't stop there, deciding to hit the market for good! In 2000, Diaspora started the production of the Prisma system, a moveable glass wall that immediately became very popular within the Lebanese market and is now used in many notorious restaurants and cafes. Providing people with the best quality, Diaspora keeps up-to-date with the latest technologies in the field and is provided with technical support from its Finish Mother Company, thus offering the highest professional service and expertise. The company's reputation and professionalism has allowed it to expand to other countries in the region, like Egypt and Jordan since 2005 With the Cover and the Prisma systems, Diaspora has become a brand of reference, shielding our outdoors with utmost quality and elegance. |

The Prisma system- Is a moveable glass wall totally suspended with no bottom rail. - The Prisma consists of individual panels of glass, which run in a robust track securely fixed to the ceiling. |
Mechanical propertiesThe glass panels are secured to the upper profiles with the utmost security system: Reinforced plastic bolts penetrating through the glass prevent the panels from dropping which could restrict panel movement. The connection of the track to the ceiling will be through the use of adjustable bolts. The adjustment could be done at anytime in case of building deflection. The combination of nylon-tired wheels and aluminum track gives smooth and noiseless operation. Each of the 4 wheels carriers can carry up to 250 kg which gives a total of 500kg for each panel. A PVC brush fits into the panel profile to seal the gap to the upper track and to the floor |
