EXTERIOR APPLICATIONS – UPPER STRUCTURE

The upper structure is usually designed with big glass surfaces in steel or aluminum frames. How much glass is installed and in which type of frame, depends on the kind of ship and the design of the architect and ship-owner. The light transmittance of a glass is often important for the comfort level and well-being of passengers and staff. Other properties such as heat transmittance, sun control and a clear view at all times are just as important.

Did you know that you in some cases, can save up to 7.5 % of energy and reduce your environmental impact by selecting the correct coated glass?

Therefore, next to our standard safety glass and light weight solutions, produced according to the ISO614 norm, we offer options to have control over how your glass reacts to the environment in an active or passive way – through a coating or in a specific build-up – or through a dynamic system – such as electrochromic tintable glass, heatable glass and many more.

For a thorough explanation about important glass values and to find help to choose the correct coating, please refer to our coating catalogue.
