TUFFX HAS RECENTLY supplied 35.5mm toughened laminate glass to Edinburgh Zoo .
The zoo decided to create a tiger exhibit in which spectators would be able to walk through the tigers ’ den via a glass tunnel . Customers from the zoo reportedly were having difficulty seeing the tigers and complaining to the zoo staff that the animals were hardly ever visible . With the tigers being one of the main attractions , it would usually be a disappointing experience for customers who have come to visit the tigers if they don ’ t want to come out of their habitat . The zoo has named the attraction ‘ Tiger Tracks .’
TuffX supplied approx . 70m2 of 35.5mm toughened laminated glass which is made up of 19mm toughened clear laminated to 15mm toughened clear . The customer requested a glass of high strength resistance with optimum safety feature , to provide safety to the zoo first and foremost , as well as the animals ’ safety . Barbara Smith , interim chief executive officer of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland , said : “ At three times the size of our previous Sumatran tiger enclosure , Tiger Tracks will provide a more enriching experience for our animals and greater engagement for our visitors .”
