Color PVB Interlayers in a Church | Vanceva

Vanceva gives architects and designers creative freedom by producing a broad spectrum of colors for laminated glass. The Color PVB Interlayers from Vanceva can be mixed to create over 170000 transparent, translucent, or opaque colors for the desired tone and intensity. Vanceva Color PVB Interlayers were used to create a multicolored glass circle for the rooftop of the Church of Blessed Maria Restituta Kafka in Brno, Czech Republic.

The design team at glass fabricator Saint-Gobain, a company that had worked with Vanceva for more than twenty years, used the color configurator on the Vanceva website to select the colors needed to create the architect’s vision for a complete rainbow palette

Thanks to Vanceva interlayers, the colors encircle the church providing an inspiring atmosphere to the sanctuary, while on the exterior the sky reflects the colorful glass making this “crown” look like a rainbow circle floating above the neighborhood.

This project won an honorable mention in the 2022 Vanceva World of Color Award.

Vanceva interlayers are created with light-stable colorants to stay vivid for a long time. Color laminated glass made with Vanceva can block up to 99% of damaging UV radiation up to 380 nm, and reduce solar heat gain.
