Features & Benefits
- Energy efficiency is improved with correct glass selection;
- Condensation substantially reduced;
- Noise reduction better achieved when combined with Acousta™ laminated glass;
- Safety and security benefits when units are made with either Grade ‘A” Toughened or Laminated safety glass
Applications
Residential and commercial glazing to meet any of either energy, noise, safety and security requirements.
