rom sustainability to high-performance, energy efficiency, and safety, glass is no longer just a transparent material that blurs boundaries and connects occupants to the outside world – it is an integral component of the modern building’s composition.
This multifaceted nature of glass has propelled its use in the retrofitting and renovation of existing structures, enhancing the aesthetics of historic buildings while harnessing the benefits of sustainability and performance. In addition, safety has become increasingly important when specifying glazing materials; not only can glass reduce or prevent the likelihood of burglary but it also lowers the risk of personal injury from unplanned interfaces between objects, end-users, and the façade or windows. Safety glazing is commonly categorized into 3 distinct types: VSG – laminated safety glass, ESG – toughened safety glass, and TVG – partially tempered glass.
Arguably, there is no other material that we encounter as often as flat glass in our daily lives. This foundational material of modern construction is and will remain a fundamental design element into the future and will increasingly take on technical functions. Whether in a refrigerator, in the kitchen, the car windscreen or the window of an office, the possibilities of innovation and functionality are only limited by our imagination and creativity. With the development of cutting-edge display glass and switchable glazing, these technologies are no longer ideas confined to the realms of science fiction. Combined with the recyclability of glass, this material has been established as a viable means to a sustainable future.
