Eurowindow Headquarter Office
The Eurowindow Headquarter Office is a symbol of architectural modernity and corporate excellence in Hanoi, Vietnam. Completed in 2017, the story behind its façade selection is AGC’s Stopsol Supersilver Euro Grey coated glass façade, a choice that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
Situated at a prominent intersection, Eurowindow Headquarter Office serves as a hub for business activities. Its modern architectural style demanded a façade solution that not only enhanced its visual appeal but also contributed to its overall functionality and superior performance in thermal insulation and solar control.
Factors that were considered in the glass selection:
1. Functionality and Performance: Glass facades play a crucial role in regulating internal temperatures, optimizing natural light penetration, and providing protection against external elements.
2. Energy Efficiency: Properly designed glass facades can significantly impact a building’s energy consumption and operational costs. By selecting high-performance glass materials, architects can minimise heat gain or loss, reducing the reliance on mechanical heating and cooling systems and promoting energy efficiency.
3. Durability and Maintenance: Careful selection of durable glass materials, coatings, and protective systems can enhance the façade’s longevity and reduce maintenance requirements over time.
4. Safety and Compliance: Glass facades must meet stringent safety standards and building codes to protect occupants and ensure regulatory compliance. Architects and specifiers evaluate factors such as glass strength, impact resistance, and fire safety ratings to meet these requirements and mitigate potential risks.
