Introduction

State-of-the-art glazed façades achieve fire-resistance at the highest classifications

 

Glazed façades facilitate a connection between buildings and their surrounding environments, and through this connection enhance occupants’ well-being by providing access to natural daylight and views of the outside world. The versatility of glass affords architects a wide range of design possibilities and enables the design of contemporary and more transparent buildings. Moreover, glazed façades solutions can be customized with an array of multifunctional features and energy-efficient coatings that are advantageous to the comfort and well-being of building occupants.
