Lucid Glass Studio will be debuting its designer glass flooring products at GlassBuild America. Lucid offers glass flooring options combining color, texture and architectural requirements. Offering consultation, Lucid offers custom and unique products for each project, say officials. Lucid Glass will also exhibit its countertops, bar tops and other surfaces, all made from the company’s USA-made, kiln-formed glass. Booth #2

The north side of the Audi Dealership of Birmingham building required fire-rated lot-line protection. The challenge was to blend the desired fire-rated glazing system with the sleek aesthetic of the non-rated system. The design team found their solution with a 2-hour fire-rated exterior Fireframes® Curtainwall Series system from Technical Glass Products. Its slender profiles and clear fire-rated glazing blend well with the adjacent non-rated curtain wall, while its strength allows for 21-foot free spans.

Hornos Pujol will exhibit its new I-ON Dynamic Glass, a dynamic glass product. The product is fabricated through use of PDLC films and projectors. More than switchable films, these products open up a world of opportunity for interactive and dynamically glazed products, according to the company. Booth #1845

Finnglass’ electrically heated glass for structural glass façades and window solutions is designed to provide both indoor comfort and architectural freedom in the most challenging climates and conditions, says Timo Saukko, CEO of Finnglass. Originally designed to prevent snow and ice from blocking visibility on glass roofs and skylights, the insulating glass unit evolved based on client needs.

“When heating is installed on the exterior glass, it prevents condensation in humid climates, as well as ice formation and snow buildup in cold climates,” says Saukko. “When heating is installed on the interior glass, it can stop convection by heating glass to just one or two degrees higher than room temperature, stopping the drafts and air circulation caused by the temperature difference between glass surface and room temperature. Today, heating is applied on inner glass, outer glass or both, depending on client needs.”

The customizable product offers plenty of practical benefits, eliminating drafts and cold radiation next to big glass panes to ensure occupant comfort, as well as increasing energy efficiency by minimizing heat loss. The product also offers aesthetic flexibility, including views unobstructed by ice, snow or condensation, and a wide range of applications in glass façades, window units, rooftops, skylights, shaped glass and moving glass panes, such as sliding glass doors or casement windows. 

The company can customize the product further with Finnglass’ other glass options, such as electrochromics, bird-safety patterns and anti-slip—the latter if glass is used for catwalks or floors. Coatings, such as low-emissivity, solar control or anti-reflection can also be added to the final glass unit to optimize energy flow and well-being.

Press Glass introduced its 3D glass panes. The company’s 3D glass is fabricated using a new thermoforming approach with a patented technology based on ceramic molds instead of the previously employed metal molds. An efficient forming process of individual ceramic molds gives more freedom in the forming of large surfaces composed of unique glass panes, says the company. The 3D glass panes can also be laminated with one another using PVB foil.
