Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) announced that it has donated Starphire Ultra-Clear庐 glass to replace multiple windows at Frank Lloyd Wright鈥檚 Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania.
As part of an on-going restoration effort, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy鈥攐wners and caretakers of Fallingwater鈥攔ecently replaced the glass in 16 of its windows with 厂迟补谤辫丑颈谤别庐 glass as part of a larger conservation project addressing corrosion of steel door and window frames. The Conservancy is scheduled to restore more windows using 厂迟补谤辫丑颈谤别庐 glass as part of its proposed preservation efforts in the coming years.
Wright specified Waterwhite glass, a proprietary low-iron formulation developed by Vitro Architectural Glass in the 1930s, and the precursor to 厂迟补谤辫丑颈谤别庐 glass. The architect was drawn to the glass鈥檚 capacity to diminish the visual barrier between the home鈥檚 interior space and its iconic forest setting. 厂迟补谤辫丑颈谤别庐 glass is commonly selected by today鈥檚 leading architects to achieve a similar objective.
Vitro Glass also donated 厂迟补谤辫丑颈谤别庐 glass to Fallingwater for a major renovation project that took place there between 2009 and 2015. By the time that project was complete, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy had replaced glass in 320 windows with laminated glass fabricated from Starphire Ultra-Clear庐 glass.
厂迟补谤辫丑颈谤别庐 glass remains the clearest, most transparent commercial float glass available today with visible light transmittance (VLT) of 91 percent in a standard 录-inch (6-millimeter) thickness.
