Technology products were featured in Metal Architecture’s February issue.
Eastman Chemical Co.
Compared to regular glazing, bird strikes are reduced by using Eastman Chemical’s laminated glass with a Saflex FlySafe 3-D polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. SEEN AG supplies 3-D reflective sequins between two layers of glass catch light at different angles, subtly sparkling to deter birds from the glass. The sequin pattern covers less than 1% of the glass area. The glazing can be used for a variety of applications including atriums, balustrades, cladding, curtainwalls, exterior doors, façades, link bridges, podium glass, skylights and windows. Glass laminated with a Saflex FlySafe 3-D PVB interlayer meets regulations and certifications for bird protection including LEED SSpc55 pilot credits for bird collision deterrence.
Greco Architectural Metal Products
Greco’s G-Lights LED lighting are 24-volt continuous lights that fit inside handrails. G-lights incorporate an LED strip of lighting inside the tubing that makes handrails. They are installed with railings and electrical contractors connect them from power sources to the driver modules that transfer 120-volt to a 24-volt source that powers the strips.
Linarc Inc.
Linarc’s cloud-based construction management software platform for teams allows collaboration and management of multiple projects. The software can be used as an all-encompassing system, or separate modules can be activated one by one so teams can gradually adopt it. For example, users can activate a module to streamline requests for information (RFIs) and submittals, which is a common pain point that can cause construction project delays.
