Vanceva gives architects and designers creative freedom by producing a broad spectrum of colors for laminated glass. The color interlayers from Vanceva can be mixed to create over 170000 transparent, translucent, or opaque colors for the desired tone and intensity. Color PVB Interlayers from Vanceva were employed in the Porte de Rezé, a bridge located in Nantes, France.
The widening of the highway bridge which allows entry to the city of Nantes has improved pedestrian and bicycle circulation. On this bridge, a wall was mounted to obstruct the transmission of sound from the underneath highway. This sound barrier made of glass and concrete incorporates noise reduction Vanceva color interlayers.
For this project, 231 pieces of green Plastofloat laminated glass made with a 6 mm thick self-cleaning glass Activ™ and the addition of two Vanceva Color interlayers: Sapphire 006 and Sahara Sun 004.
Vanceva interlayers are created with light-stable colorants to stay vivid for a long time. Vanceva interlayers can block up to 99% of damaging UV radiation up to 380 nm, and reduce solar heat gain.
