Technical Details About This Project
Structural glazing 8mm cool-lite SKN 154 tempered
Exterior tempered glass with 8mm thickness featuring "Cool-Lite SKN 154" coating (manufactured by Saint-Gobain) that provides excellent solar control with 52% light transmission and only 27% solar heat gain. This specialized coating creates an ideal balance between natural light and thermal performance for student living spaces. The tempering process significantly increases strength and safety.
ALU 20 90% argon
20mm aluminum spacer between glass panes, filled 90% with argon gas for superior thermal insulation and condensation resistance, particularly important for maintaining comfortable temperatures in the student living environments throughout all seasons.
44.1 stadip
Interior laminated safety glass (4mm+4mm with 1mm PVB safety interlayer) of the Stadip brand, providing enhanced security, UV protection, and acoustic performance—critical features for a student residence where safety and quiet study environments are essential.
