AGC’S solar solution for city landmark building

Curved, coloured and solar control glazing proved no problem for AGC's Planibel Low-E glass in the fa?ade of St Botolphs, a new landmark building in the City of London by internationally renowned architect, Grimshaw. AGC's Building Projects Team worked closely with specialist architectural and cladding consultancy, Montresor Partnership, to provide a glazing solution that met the project's exacting technical and aesthetic demands. Combining thermal insulation with high light transmission, Planibel Energy N and its toughenable version, Energy NT, were an ideal choice for the building's flat and curved double glazed vision units; while Planibel Coloured Dark Blue has provided distinctive glass visors around the 14-storey structure, offering a high level of shading and solar control, according to a Nov. 21 release.
