Guardian SunGuard With SentryGlas Obtains DTA For French Market
Guardian Glass and Kuraray have partnered to obtain a Document Technique d’Application (DTA) for the compatibility of SunGuard High Durable (HD) coatings (coating against interlayer) and SentryGlas Xtra interlayer material. This combination offers architects and façade consultants a new opportunity to design a building envelope with high strength and energy performance.
Laminated Guardian SunGuard HD glass with SentryGlas Xtra interlayer is particularly suitable for monolithic applications such as the outer envelope of double skin facades, canopies or atriums, as well as applications that require high resistance to mechanical and/or wind loads. The DTA validates all glass compositions where SentryGlas Xtra is in direct contact with Guardian SunGuard HD coatings.
SentryGlas Xtra is part of SentryGlas ionoplast interlayers which are five times more tear resistant and up to 100 times stiffer than conventional PVB interlayers, its use can help reduce overall glazing thickness by up to 30%. This reduction in glazing thickness can result in lowering the embodied carbon.
Guardian SunGuard HD coatings are made from highly resistant materials, which make them particularly suitable for monolithic applications. It offers various aesthetics and external reflectivity, as well as different levels of light transmission and solar factor.
Matthieu Laude, Product Manager at Guardian Glass in Europe comments: “Laminated Guardian SunGuard HD glass with SentryGlas Xtra interlayer offers several advantages for customers, not only from the combination of material properties. Having a readily available French DTA certification can save customers time and effort in applying for a certification specific to their project, and can reduce the costs associated with this.”
