Fins
The trend to open design invites more glass and less visible framing and structural support, with an increasing structural role for advanced laminated glass.
The extra stiffness of SentryGlas® structural interlayer reduces glass deflection and helps designers achieve light, airy structures.
SentryGlas® used in structural fins helps further increase overall facade or canopy transparency. For more examples, explore the Design Gallery.
Fins add Flair in Singapore
Use of thinner glass fins was made possible by DuPont™ SentryGlas® at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and SkyPark, opened in 2010 in Singapore.

Design of Lightweight Structures
The structural performance of laminated glass depends on load duration, temperatures, and the type of interlayer chosen. Compare SentryGlas® and PVB interlayer performance up to 80░C.
