SentryGlas® Design Detail: Rooftop Railing
Glass Technique Asia Pte., Ltd., manufactured the laminated glass panels, typically consisting of two 10-mm layers of tempered or heat-strengthened low-iron glass, with a 1.52-mm-thick SentryGlas® interlayer. Structural support includes 2- and 3-sided framing, with open edges to enhance the view. The edges of laminated glass panels made with DuPont™ SentryGlas® resist moisture intrusion better than panels made with PVB.
Facade Fins Add Flair
Lighter, stronger laminated glass allows for long, vertical glass fins that help sculpt and define a facade well worth an adventurer's climb!
» Thinner fins
Durable Glass Clarity
With DuPont™ SentryGlas® and low-iron glass, glass railings are given an extra measure of clarity, along with improved safety performance.
» Weather-resistant, low-iron laminates
Bold, Iconic Design

Resistance to Wind Deflection
Compared with traditional interlayers, extra-stiff SentryGlas® ionoplast offers greater resistance to weathering and deflection from oceanfront winds.
