Innovative anti-glare LuxPrint® glass from SEVASA Technologics at iconic Sagrada Familia Temple.

Anti-glare LuxPrint® glass from Sevasa Technologics has revealed its most notable and exclusive feature: the ability to see through the etched glass with a high image definition even looking to miles far away. This feature, unique at an international level, has attracted the interest of architects and specifiers with anti-glare requirements in their projects… and among them the most emotional and iconic building of Barcelona: Sagrada Familia’s Temple.

THE CHALLENGE
The simultaneous rising of the basilica’s 6 central towers is a milestone for its construction. Gaudí projected singular triangular openings to the outside in these towers to flood the interior with light and luminosity. He designed them open, but today, for obvious security reasons, they are glazed.

The team of architects in charge required these openings should allow to enjoy different views to the outside and inside, while minimizing the possible glare towards their surroundings, as well as their visual impact.

THE SOLUTION
Sevasa Technologics presented up to 3 solutions: LuxPrint® 6, LuxPrint® 8 and LuxPrint® 10. Each of these products provides a different level of anti-glare and distance vision, on face 1 and with only pure glass, without layers or additives. In addition, it is available in a large format glass sheet (up to 9 metres long).

LuxPrint® 10, on an 8mm thick extra-clear base and Jumbo size, was finally chosen (LP10 8mm + optical 8mm with 2 butyrals), forming part of the massive panels of stressed stone, which reach up to 31 tons in weight (an elephant weighs 7 tons) and 5 meters high and wide.

Once the main tower -devoted to Jesus Christ- is finished, it will have a height of 172.5 meters, which will make it the tallest building in Barcelona.

INNOVATIVE ACID-ETCHED GLASS WITH VISION THROUGH

This is a LuxPrint® unique feature worldwide which multiplies building and design application options. It allows the possibility of achieving glass facades and structures minimizing glare and reflections while being applied even on vision areas if required.

Interestingly, LuxPrint® was born as valuable glass for digital printing (with both organic and ceramic paints), as well as for laminates with marble, stone or wood: it enhances colors and provides elegance, allowing not only to choose the level of anti-reflection and color enhancement among its 3 options, but - and most importantly for glaziers - freeing the glass ideal side for digital printing, even in 2mm thick or extra large sheet (up to 9 meters).

It is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications..
