More about this product

Since 1937, glass fabricators and automotive engineers have counted on Saflex® for high-quality products, reliable service, and expert advice to help deliver world-class technology for laminated glass. Clear PVB interlayers from Saflex were used in the renovation of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, a treasured Mies van der Rohe-designed building in Washington, D.C., the United States.

The 426,000sq ft project maintains the powerful simplicity of the original building‘s distinctive black glass-and-steel facade. The library’s rectangular shape has three glazed floors, which float above a first floor recessed behind a colonnade of black steel columns. The library renovation was designed by Dutch architecture firm Mecanoo and U.S.-based OTJ Architects.

Application

Saflex PVB interlayers offer protection from accidental breakage, and protection from outside noise, providing a quieter environment for study and reading. The PVB interlayer increases UV protection, protecting both library patrons and furnishings from damaging rays.
