Vitro Architectural Glass

Solarvolt building-integrated photovoltaic glass modules allow companies to use Vitro Glass products to produce CO2-free power, and even potentially replace conventional building components like wall cladding. To meet design and environmental performance objectives, Solarvolt BIPV modules can be used with Solarban low-emissivity coatings, Starphire Ultra-Clear glass, Acuity low-iron glass, Vitro’s full range of tinted glasses and virtually any other Vitro Glass product. Applications include building façades, sunshading, overhead glazing and balustrades. 

Walker Glass Co.

Architects now have the choice between two full surface finishes from Walker Textures on surface No.1, with Solarban high-performance coatings from Vitro Glass on surface No.2. This combination provides multiple benefits such as privacy, energy performance and a uniquely appealing aesthetic. Walker Textures Satin and Opaque finishes offer exemplary wear-, stain- and scratch-resistance properties. These products offer high visible light transmittance and glare control, with no significant impact on solar performance.

Textured glass

Nathan Allan Glass Studios’ Rush Textured glass is designed to simulate the stirring flow of moving water. This new design is the result of a unique custom mold creation. The glass can be produced in clear, low-iron, bronze or black glass. Panels can be produced as large as five feet by 10 feet, in whatever thickness of glass is required. All glass options, up to 3/4-inch, can be safety tempered. Applications include partitions, wall panels and doors.

Conductive glass

Zytronic, a U.K.-based company that develops capacitive technology for touchscreens, released ElectroglaZ, a bespoke lamination of non-conductive and conductive transparent glass. The arrangement allows power to be transferred across two or more individual layers within the laminate and tapped/extracted at the required locations to power multiple low-power devices, which use 50 volts or less. Potential applications include LED-lit display cases and shelving units for museums, art galleries and high-end retail stores, say officials.
