GLASS FOR FACADE 2022

104 - GLASS FOR FAÇADE - EDITION 2022 GLASS FOR FAÇADE - EDITION 2022 - 105 High-security glass VETROGARD and POLYGARD high-security glass solutions are resistant to attack, bullet or blast, and are all tested in a specific frame and environment. In addition to meeting regulatory requirements, these glass units are only sold on the basis of official reports: documents issued by an approved laboratory, certifying the successful completion of a resistance test on a glazed element (specific glass, frame and environment). Testing this element ensures the reliability and resistance of the solution. VETROGARD - Laminated glass solutions composed of 2 or more panes of glass, PVB interlayer(s). POLYGARD - Laminated glass solutions composed of 2 or more panes of glass and polycarbonate interlayer(s). POLYGARD solutions are less than half as thick as the VETROGARD range but provide the same level of resistance. These solutions are available with or without splinter (S or NS) on the opposite side of the impact and meet the highest levels of resistance defined by European standards (EN). The glass elements have a resistance time of between 30 and 120 minutes. Markets and applications Hospitals, schools, hotels, shopping centres, airports, offices or even collective housing, Saint-Gobain’s fire-rated glass solutions, in addition to the fire resistance they provide, meet the specific requirements of each of their environments. For outdoor applications, fire-rated solutions can be mounted in double or triple glazing. Vetrotech Saint-Gobain provides solutions for any kind of applications: partitions, façades, windows, doors, smoke barrier systems, skylights or even floors. Markets and applications VETROGARD and POLYGARD glass solutions are specifically intended for the ERP [public access building] and HRB markets.
