| Blackpearl by Glaverbel  In its never-ending quest for integrated architectural glass solutions, Glaverbel is launching Blackpearl - a glass with exceptional aesthetic and processing properties, the ideal choice for architects looking for a perfect balance between spandrel and vision glasses. It is also the ideal choice for processors seeking to enhance the way they manage added-value projects. Blackpearl is a coloured glass with a light transmission close to zero, in other words it is almost perfectly opaque. This product offers long-lasting mechanical strength and chemical resistance.Designed to be used in double glazing on the spandrel section of the façade with the coating facing towards the inside of the building, Blackpearl is the perfect solution for architects and façade designers aiming for a seamless transition between vision and spandrel areas of their building regardless of the type of glass being used in the vision (for example, solar control glass or thermal insulation glass). When making spandrels, processors generally have to use enamelled toughened glass that has been manufactured to order and is therefore subject to variable lead-times. Blackpearl, however, is available in stock sheets that can be processed in the same way as other float glasses (cut, toughened, ground, etc). This means that the processor can react quickly to projects in progress and offer their customers an optimal service. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
