Dynamic laminate

Suntuitive Dynamic launched Suntuitive MonoLite. The high-performance dynamic glazing possesses the benefits of Suntuitive Dynamic Glass but in a single laminate. Powered by sunlight, Suntuitive MonoLite dynamically transitions from light to dark in response to solar heat without any wires or controls. It can be installed the same as traditional glass, while still fitting glazing pockets as small as a 1/4 inch.

Fritted glass

Bendheim added a new type of exterior specialty glass, Lumi Frit, to its exterior glass offering. The Surface 1 fritted glass allows architects to create customized, brilliant white glass facades. Lumi Frit minimizes glass reflections, making patterns more pronounced and easier to view from a distance, providing an attractive option to highlight custom designs, say officials. By interrupting continuous reflections, the glass also becomes visible to birds, mitigating the risk of accidental bird strikes.
