GLASS FOR FAÇADE 2020

23 SAINT-GOBAIN BUILDING GLASS The ANA Tower in northern Bucharest is one of the ten tallest buildings in the Romanian capital. The impressive reinforced concrete structure rises 110 meters high on an almost triangular ground plan. 24 of the 26 floors are reserved for office use in the premium segment. Light-colored marble and staircase sculptures clad in fine woods transform the two-storey entrance hall into a prestigious lobby that welcomes visitors and employees in style. On the first two floors, there are elegantly furnished conference and meeting rooms as well as luxurious restaurants. The parking spaces are located in the basement levels. Thanks to its highly innovative equipment, the ANA Tower has been able to achieve the highest standards of efficiency and room quality. The building was awarded the LEED Platinum sustainability certificate as a Green Building. The façade of the ANA Tower is strictly gridded. The dark natural stone façade dissolves into a clear grid structure with high glass windows. The glazings, embedded in barely visible frames, rise over two storeys and are almost flush with the façade. 8,000 m 2 highly efficient solar control glasses from SAINT-GOBAIN were used for the sophisticated energy-saving glazing as it combines efficient solar control with maximum light transmission and excellent thermal insulation. The coating generation of COOL-LITE ® SKN 176 II provides the employees in the offices of the ANA Tower optimum use of daylight.
