 Solutia, a performance materials and specialty chemicals company, has announced
its 2013 Vanceva colour forecast for architectural laminated glass. The
10 unique colors can be achieved by using two or more layers from
the Vanceva Colour System by Saflex line of polyvinyl butyral (PVB)
interlayers for laminated glass.
No longer reserved for paint and wall coverings, architects and designers continue to push the envelope, developing innovative colour
design methods for every glazing application. When exploring light,
form, and space in the design process, glass can be the answer for all
three considerations. Now airports, living rooms, and urban facades can showcase colour
in the glazing design.
Julie
Schimmelpenningh, global architectural applications manager for Saflex, says,
“Used in curtain walls, atriums, skylights, partitions and conference
rooms, Vanceva colour interlayers allow the most expressive designs with
distinctive hues from the subtle to the dramatic.”
Producing a broad spectrum of colors and moods that are unachievable
using stock selections of glass, Vanceva Color System by Saflex gives
architects and designers more creative freedom with glass than ever
before. Vanceva colour interlayers can be combined to produce more than
three thousand transparent, translucent or opaque color options to help
create the desired tone and intensity. When Vanceva color interlayers
are combined with tinted or reflective glass, the design possibilities
are nearly limitless.
