Leveraging the boom in realty and changing architecture, float glass maker Saint-Gobain , moving up the value chain, has introduced value-added products in the interior and exterior glass segments.
There are six types of interior glass - Planilaque Evolution (lacquered glass), Masterglass (textured glass), Decorglass (patterned), Diamant (extra clear glass), Satinovo and Baldosa Grabada (matt translucent glass) - available in the market.
According to Mr B. Santhanam, Managing Director, Saint-Gobain Glass India, these products are available in various colours and thickness. "They can be toughened, bent, laminated, double-glazed and have possibilities for various other value additions," says Mr Santhanam.
They can be used in partitions, doors, shower screens, signage and furniture, among other things.
Apart from this, Saint-Gobain is doing a lot of market-seeding for exterior reflective glass for solar control such as Reflectasol, Antelio and Cool-lite under the umbrella brand Sun Ban. Reflectasol is primarily for window-glazing in residences and façade-glazing in small and medium projects. While Antelio is meant for medium and large projects, Cool-lite is the premium product in the Sun Ban range, used for façade-glazing in large and mega projects.
