Dear Vitro Certified® Network Member,
It’s hard to believe summer is right around the corner—time really does fly! Speaking of flying... I’m excited to share that our newly launched BirdSmart™ Bird Safe Glass has been receiving outstanding feedback. Its innovative first-surface laser etchings offer effective bird protection without compromising performance or views.
I’m also pleased to share progress on several initiatives we’ve been diligently working on, like our new Spandrelite™ glass and recently launched FramingFactor™ tool:
- Spandrelite™ Glass takes building facades to the next level by turning structural elements into eye-catching features. Available in black, white, and warm gray, it works perfectly with different glass styles while hiding things like HVAC systems, plumbing and wiring.
- FramingFactor™ calculates the Total Assembly Performance (TAP) of dual-pane, triple-pane and vacuum insulating glass (VIG) units. It offers various glazing and framing options, letting you easily compare, save, download and share performance data in just a few clicks.
This edition also shines a spotlight on the FirstHealth Cancer Center in Pinehurst, N.C., celebrated for its striking Vitro glass facade that features a harmonious blend of Vistacool® Azuria® and Vistacool® Pacifica® glass with Solarban® 60 glass, combining aesthetic appeal with energy efficiency.
Finally, we're excited to introduce our newest team member, Ben Rider, who joins us as the National Architectural Manager for the Four Corners region. We hope you enjoy his Get-to-Know spotlight.
Thanks for your continued support.
Sincerely,
