Allguth Car Wash

In Germering near Munich, there is a glass car wash that stands out thanks to its remarkable architecture. The 52-metre-long and 9.30-metre-wide building is the flagship of a petrol station with its eye-catching appearance and also marks the entrance to the town. The eye-catching feature of the three-aisle car wash is its frameless enclosure made of vertically arranged profiled glass panes, which are arranged in a circle at the end of the building. The clear, texture-free LAMBERTS LINIT®EcoGlass clarissimo conveys a feeling of cleanliness and is therefore ideal for the façade of a car wash. It is also resistant to the cleaning agents used, easy to clean and simple to maintain.

The transparent U-glass shell contributes to the energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the facility and, thanks to its interior lighting, becomes a highly visible advertising medium at night. The four-metre-high panes are clamped into steel frames and allow a slightly blurred view of the processes inside. There, the cars are guided through the washing equipment by a chain. Customers can accompany their vehicles in a glazed corridor and watch the washing process on displays and through clear glass windows. The fact that this option is very popular is proven by the approximately 80,000 car washes per year.
