Palais Coburg
Introduction
The Palais Coburg in Vienna was bought by POK Pühringer, a private foundation, with the intention to convert it into a luxury hotel resort.
One of the main goals of the architect was to reveal and use the beauty of the old and well-preserved bricks beneath the entrance hall by building a skylight above it. Vetrotech recommended the use of Lite-Floor, a walkable fire-resistant glass solution, which resists fire for up to 30 minutes.
To further enhance safety and compliance, fire resistant flooring was integrated into the design, providing an additional layer of protection without compromising aesthetics.
In addition, fireproof flooring options were considered for areas requiring maximum fire performance, ensuring long-term durability and peace of mind for building occupants.
This eye-catcher made of glass features a special screen printing on its surface, which acts both as a design element and a protective anti-slip layer.
