Contemporary architecture in the Middle East is truly inventive and has become a trademark for the region, which is dotted with beautiful high-tech buildings that boast creative designs and complex shapes, most of them using glass as a structural material on their facades.
PVB film, a solution to HVAC cost and glass reflection reduction
If we consider building facades, builders and glass consultants who have been relying on ionoplast interlayer in their laminated glass are now increasingly interested in structural PVB interlayers as an economically attractive alternative for internal structural glazing applications such as in shopping malls, balustrades, etc.
Value engineering must not compromise on product quality
A message that came across quite strongly during the event is a pledge for product quality. Many glass consultants expressed serious concerns that in the name of “value engineering”, cost saving targets are leading to the use of lower quality products. They therefore insist on the importance to specify reputable players and products throughout the building value chain, including laminated glass. EVERLAM is part of this way of thinking and will continue to build its reputation by manufacturing PVB films for laminated safety glass that are of value to the building industry and help its direct customers, i.e. glass laminators, deliver high quality glass products that respond to the constraints and standards set by architects and consultants.
