Around 2,000 free-standing panels of laminated glass, containing DuPont™ SentryGlas® structural interlayer, are used to form balustrades at the new Westfield London shopping centre, Europe’s largest urban shopping mall, which opened for business on 30 October 2008. 20 percent thinner than other glass laminate constructions of equivalent performance, the glass balustrades, manufactured by UK architectural glass supplier Kite Glass, provide a safe and secure shopping experience for all visitors to Westfield, while affording them unobstructed views of the more than 280 shops located there.
