Carvart Metallic, Carvart

This clever collection of laminated glass products combines good looks with energy efficiency.

Decorative glass is usually easy on the eyes, but rarely is it able to improve building performance. Carvart’s Metallic collection of laminated glass fuses a metallic mesh interlayer between two glass lites. The mesh’s outer metallic surface reflects solar energy to limit solar heat gain while the sheet shades building interiors from sunlight and reduces glare. Carvart Metallic is suitable for interior and exterior walls and partitions, doors, and space delineation. carvart.com
