GLASS FOR FAÇADE 2018

SAINT-GOBAIN BUILDING GLASS – FACADE / 17 The Realization The expansion project began in 2004, but it was only in 2011 that the work started and in 2012 the Event Pavilion was officially opened. SAINT-GOBAIN supplied overlength glass panels, up to 7 meters high. Custom made glass panels were designed to create a thin transparent wall with minimal joints. In other words, more daylight and less construction. To ensure a clear view for the occupants, the architects chose DIAMANT for its high light transmission. Regarding the coating, CLIMAPLUS PLANITHERM XN II was used to help protect the environment, by reducing the energy consumption for heating, while increasing the visitors’ comfort. Other double glazing panels were supplied with PLANIDUR laminated glass with a total thickness of 70mm, ensuring maximum security. With aesthetic overlength glass panels, the Museum was able to create a new dynamic and fulfill its mission by attracting new audiences and creating an additional revenue stream.
