FIT SHOW 2016
REVOLUTIONARY TINTABLE
GLASS SHOWCASED AT FIT
An innovation of Saint-Gobain manufactured in the US, SageGlass® came to
the UK and rejuvenates the International Centre, Telford at the FIT Show.
»»People spend more than 80% of their
time in buildings, and research shows that
preserving views to the outside is essential
to the health, productivity, and comfort of
building occupants.
This is why SageGlass® has been
invented: allowing architects to design large
glazed areas that let in light and give a visual
connection to the outdoors, while making
people inside feel comfortable and protected
from heat and glare.
Automatically controlled by four external
light sensors that detect predetermined light
levels, the glass at the International Centre
will adapt its tint between 60% and only
1% light transmission. Simultaneously, the
solar factor will vary between 40% and 4%,
providing sun protection as well as keeping
the building cool.
SageGlass® can also be controlled using
the SageGlass® Mobile App, enabling the
building manager to control sunlight without
shades or blinds, and to manage glare and
heat.
Olivier Gareil, Business Manager of
SageGlass® in Europe, said: “We are excited
to have brought this truly innovative product
to the UK market.”
An entire curtain wall of 314m2 had been
glazed with SageGlass® Lightzone™ ahead
of The FIT Show.
Clayton Glass, the company’s partner in
the UK conservatory market, also featured
SageGlass® at the show.
