Bird-friendly glass

Trosifol's BirdSecure Pro bird-friendly glass has an effective dot pattern applied directly to the BirdSecure Pro interlayer has been optimized and now shows better results. The color composition of the dot pattern has been revised, and the dot size and spacing have been significantly changed. Both Trosifol and SentryGlas BirdSecure Pro were developed according to the specifications of the American Bird Conservancy (ABC), fully tested according to the standards and meet the LEED SSpc55 building standard. In addition, the new interlayer acts as a UV blocker. It's easy to laminate and the new solution can be used alone or with solar control coatings. Although the dot pattern is highly effective against bird strikes, it cannot be seen by humans from a distance of more than two meters, so it does not obstruct or obscure views

Vacuum insulating glass

VacuMax vacuum insulating glass by Vitro Architectural Glass integrates with any traditional, and even non-traditional, glazing system to maximize insulation performance. The product delivers an R-value of R14, close to that of a traditional wall. VacuMax VIG units consist of two lites of 4-millimeter glass separated by a non-leaded proprietary metal seal and a vacuum space. The unit’s slim construction and light weight allow it to be incorporated into virtually any traditional glazing system, window frame or curtain wall application.

Gradual opacity glass

Sevasa launched Graduel-H, glass with acid-etched gradual opacity, now in a horizontal format. The product’s gradient from translucent to transparent runs parallel to the short side of the sheet, which measures 88 inches or 94 1/2 inches. This allows for better fabrication with less waste, say officials. The glass also doesn’t show fingerprints, and has high resistance to scratches and stains in the treated, translucent area. Applications include public spaces and high-traffic areas.

Panelized curtain wall system

Safti First introduces the patent-pending, panelized SAFTI-EZ-ARC, designed for use in non-rated or fire-rated applications. SAFTI-EZ-ARC is the first U.S.-made, truly panelized, versatile structurally glazed curtain wall system. Two versions were developed to satisfy non-rated and fire-rated applications: SAFTI-EZ-ARC is a unique panelized system that will provide ease of installation in a curtain wall, while the SAFTI-EZ-ARC-FR is an ASTM E-119/UL 263 fire-resistive rated version recently successfully tested and listed by UL up to 2 hours. Additional testing is scheduled to meet hurricane, blast and tornado requirements.
