The One World Trade Center’s 408 foot, 758 ton spire has been completed, with EnduroShield glass treatment applied to the exterior side of the glass panels of the Spire which will also be utilised as a broadcast antenna.
The EnduroShield treatment was sprayed onto the glass panels in factory before the glass was installed into the antenna’s steel frame structure. EnduroShield chemically bonds to the glass substrate, transforming the glass into a high performance, hydrophobic surface, and protecting the surface against staining and etching.
One World Trade Center (previously known as Freedom Tower) is the primary building of the new World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York. The 104 storey skyscraper stands on the northwest corner of the 16 acre (6.5 ha) World Trade Center site, occupying the location of what used to be the original World Trade Center.
One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the third-tallest building in the world by pinnacle height. Commemorating the year of the United States Declaration of Independence, the antenna reaches the symbolic height of 1,776 feet.
