Technical Details About This Project
8mm cool-lite SKN 154
Exterior glass with 8mm thickness featuring Saint-Gobain's Cool-Lite SKN 154 coating that provides an optimal balance of solar control and thermal insulation with a distinctive blue-green tint. This specialized triple-silver low-E coating delivers superior solar control (solar factor of 28%) while maintaining high natural light transmission (54%), creating bright, comfortable interior spaces while significantly reducing cooling costs and enhancing the building's distinctive appearance.
ALU 16 90% argon
16mm aluminum spacer between glass panes, filled 90% with argon gas for superior thermal insulation and condensation resistance. The substantial spacer width combined with inert gas filling significantly reduces heat transfer through the glazing system, contributing to the building's overall energy efficiency with a U-value of approximately 1.0 W/m²K.
6mm planiclear tempered
Interior tempered glass with 6mm thickness featuring Saint-Gobain's Planiclear technology that provides exceptional clarity and color neutrality for undistorted views. The tempering process significantly increases the glass strength and ensures safety by breaking into small granular chunks rather than sharp shards if damaged, meeting commercial safety codes while maintaining optical performance.
