Glass is one material which is not only being constantly improved but can also be used in a virtually unlimited number of applications.

'Double skin' facades, reflecting/non-reflecting looks, the play of similar or contrasting colours, printed geometric or figurative designs,these are all specific responses to the aesthetic and technical requirements of designers intent on creating high-quality, contemporary architecture.

When choosing a glass, it is not just performance that counts but also the desired appearance of the building.

Perfectly fitting in the current trends toward neutrality, Planibel Clearvision (extra-clear float from AGC Flat Glass Europe) offers a superb appearance for decorative and architectural applications.

Over the years AGC Flat Glass Europe has developed coloured glasses (coloured Planibel and Stopsol glasses with coloured coatings), patterned glasses (Artlite, Imagin and Stratobel), thick glasses (Planibel Linea Azzurra) and reflecting glasses (Stopsol and Stopray) in response to architectural trends.

But today's architecture clearly favours a neutral appearance and low reflectivity, features which can be found in certain types of Stopray glasses and in the Sunergy range.

These solutions can also be combined with modern facade systems offered by AGC, such as point-fixed structural glazing (Structura).
