Every time I attend a fire test I’m impressed and proud of the fire safety performance of our Pyrobel fire-resistant glass.
There’s a tendency in architecture to focus on design and aesthetics but designing with architectural glass requires a much deeper understanding of the material and its properties. We aim to head off potential problems by meeting with architects in the early stages of their projects so we can assess the feasibility of the glass products they are thinking of using.
As a glass manufacturer we know our glass products better than anyone else and it is of the utmost importance to us that AGC glass looks impeccable when installed in projects. That’s why, several years ago, we decided to apply our long-term expertise to offer our B2B and B2C customers the tools and products they need to process, install and clean our glass quickly and easily using fully compatible products.
In today's market architects are designing ever taller and ever more spectacular buildings, but typically in an environmentally responsible way. In response to this concern and growing demand from glass processors and facade makers to reduce waste, AGC decided to take its commitment to sustainable production a step further by making it possible to produce glass in perfectly customised lengths right from the outset.
In addition to the existing SunEwat, made up of square PV cells and renamed Square, the transparent range now also features SunEwat Stripe, the cells of which form thin horizontal stripes, offering greater transparency and a more refined aesthetic.
