GLASS FOR FAÇADE 2018

SAINT-GOBAIN BUILDING GLASS – FACADE / 21 To provide a glazing that addresses all concerns, while taking advantage of the site’s potential, SAINT-GOBAIN was conscious of a certain number of features. First and positively, the building had a beautiful location in the “media” triangle, facing Canal+ and TF1, both national broadcasting channels. Quai Ouest is also known to have a large visibility with perfect exposure to the south and the west with a flexible structure in good condition. Hence, it was a good omen for a successful upgrade. However, the previous building was suffering from a few negative aspects. It was highly exposed to traffic noise and provided poor acoustic comfort to the occupants. Moreover, the façade did not protect from the sun's heat. And finally, the outmoded architectural image of the building was starting to weaken its presence in this “media” triangle. These observations taken into consideration, SAINT- GOBAIN Glassolutions network provided bent, bright and neutral colored glass to serve the building’s new modern image. Regarding the composition of the glazing, CONTOUR STADIP PROTECT Solar enabled to answer and correct all the concerns while reaping all the benetifts of the site’s potential.
