With Vetrogard Attack RC2.21, Vetrotech has introduced an innovative safety glass for anti-panic doors that entirely eliminates the need for polycarbonate. Despite the absence of a plastic interlayer, the glass meets resistance class RC2 according to EN 1627/1630. It is lighter, thinner and brighter than conventional solutions – ideal for modern emergency exit and door systems.
The Contraflam 90-1 fire-resistant glass from Vetrotech Saint-Gobain sets new standards in fire-resistant glass technology. With an innovative single-chamber foaming technology, the glass combines exceptional light transmission, low weight and sustainability.
IFTS, part of Vetrotech Saint-Gobain, is a fire resistance laboratory that carries out tests in accordance with all current European and international test standards for building and marine applications. With the new 4 by 4 metre test furnace and a high-tech test environment, 90% of all tests and type tests can be carried out at IFTS.
Safety and high-security glass is available in a wide variety of structures. However, it is not only the structure of the multi-layer composite of these glasses that is important, but the focus must always be on the overall system. Here you can find out why.
The HiLo structure on the roof of the NEST building at ETH Zurich in Dübendorf shows how to get by with very few building materials: the lightweight construction impresses with its innovative design and self-learning building technology. Precisely manufactured fire protection glass provides the necessary safety.
At Krefeld Zoo in Germany, one of the large panorama glass panes of the penguin pool, which is popular with visitors, had been damaged by a rock fall. Vetrotech Saint-Gobain Grund sponsored a new LSG pane suitable for penguins.
Recently, Vetrotech received an order for large format glass that had to be airfreighted to the Middle East. Read how this project almost failed because of the transport box.
