Guardian Glass will be focusing on the aesthetics and performance of its glass product range at this year’s glasstec.
The company will be exhibiting a purpose made 6 metre façade, to showcase no-glass effect of Guardian Clarity, and will introduce new advanced glass products and solutions in hall 10, stand A28.
Under its motto of “Inspirations in Glass”, Guardian Glass will present glass for external and internal residential and commercial applications.
“Guardian Glass offers one of the broadest and most versatile product portfolios in the industry, both in terms of performance and aesthetics,” explains Lance Altizer, Marketing Director Europe at Guardian Glass.
“The many properties and options available through our product range can provide the inspiration for architects and designers to create buildings with outstanding looks. This is the story of our presence at glasstec 2016.”
One demonstration in particular will be provided by a 6-metre-high, concave façade, built specifically for the show.
The four curved glass panels of the façade incorporate Guardian UltraClear float glass with a range of high-performance coatings that provide different degrees of visual reflection – from the no-glass effect of Guardian Clarity, to the almost diamond-like appearance of Guardian SunGuard HD Diamond 66.
In architectural glazing applications where higher light transmission and lower reflection are desirable, new Guardian Clarity anti-reflective glass gives architects more freedom to create buildings that stand out.
Guardian Clarity is suitable for any application in which excessive reflection creates an obstruction – from a hotel lobby, airport lounge or sports stadium viewing area, to any residential or commercial building with impressive views.
Another Guardian innovation to be presented at the show is Guardian System TEA (True Edge Application), a unique technology that reduces the time required for edge enamelling of Guardian heat treatable sputtered coated glass.
The technology produces a perfectly uniform surface with excellent optical qualities and is more resource-efficient, which reduces lead times for structural glazing products.
Guardian will also use the occasion of glasstec 2016 to announce the winners of its student design competition, aimed at exploring the innovation potential behind new Guardian Clarity anti-reflective glass.
Design students from around the globe were invited to conceive new and creative ideas for the use of ant-reflective glass in home interiors, the workplace and events.
