Project information
How can glass façades be further enhanced to maximize transparency while saving on materials and weight? The funded NEERO Facade research project addresses this challenge by investigating thin glass-plastic hybrid panels in the application field of ultra-light and highly transparent facades. The utilized material is an innovative lightweight construction product with a transparent Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) core and external cover layers made of scratch-resistant thin glass. Possible applications for the development include the production of single and double-skin constructions for new buildings as well as the energetic renovation of existing buildings.
