19 There is quite a history on The Block with Viridian. It is a lot of trouble to work on the requirements and performance of glass. We’ve gone to Viridian glass – tried and true – we’ve used it on The Block before and it’s been a great success. Thanks to the louvres windows for example, we’ve recreated an old house and created a lovely new pavilion. This glass is the EnergyTech™ Low-E glass that’s absolutely fantastic in its high performance. It’s just a beautiful product and we’ll be using it time and time again. Above Main entrance with bedrooms, bathrooms incorporated in a semi open-plan arrangement. Left The glazed node between old and modern. LightBridge™ is one of those products you have used to great effect. In The Block we’re all about challenges and it’s challenges for the contestants and challenges for the products. We go to Viridian because they can step up to the mark. LightBridge™ is one of their premium products and we’ve used that specifically in the new pavilions just to get the solar performance and heat coefficient right. It’s a great product and we’ll use it again and again.
