The Font dels Colors is far from an ordinary public space. Located on the banks of the Valira River, in the heart of Andorra la Vella, it is one of the Principality’s most photographed and visited urban landmarks. Every weekend, hundreds of residents and tourists gather there to enjoy a unique show combining waterfalls, parabolic jets, a digital water curtain, and spectacular RGB LED lighting synchronized with music. In short, it is a place where the visual experience is everything.

The challenge: safety without compromising aesthetics

The renovation of the pedestrian area surrounding the Font dels Colors presented a clear technical and aesthetic challenge: ensuring the safety of a high-traffic public area — including crowd-load use categories — without interrupting the visual continuity of the light show or altering the contemporary character of the space.

The solution needed to meet the highest regulatory standards, integrate harmoniously into a visually striking nighttime environment, and at the same time withstand the demands of a space designed for large crowds. A challenge that Comenza’s GlassFit SV-1801 railing system is specifically designed to solve.

What makes the GlassFit SV-1801 railing system stand out in this project?

• Integrated LED lighting in the railing: The profile incorporates LED lighting that complements and enhances the visual spectacle of the Font dels Colors during nighttime hours, adding aesthetic value to the overall design while improving perimeter visibility in low-light conditions.
• Minimalist design and full transparency: Glass as the main material ensures visual continuity, allowing the water and light show to remain the true focal point, without visual barriers.
• High structural strength of the railing: Its load-bearing capacity allows compliance with regulatory requirements for crowd-load areas, ensuring user safety at all times.
• Customizable finishes: As with the entire Comenza profile range, the SV-1801 profile offers the possibility of customizing the finish through powder coating in a wide range of RAL colors, allowing the solution to be adapted to the aesthetic requirements of each project. The full range of available colors can be found in our GlassFit catalog.
