COLORED GLASS WITH PVB VANCEVA® INTERLAYERS

Characteristics of Colored Glass

Dubiel Vitrum has been producing colored laminated glass for many years, utilizing PVB Vanceva Saflex® films. Saflex is a leading global brand in protective interlayers for laminated glass, and within the group of colored interlayers, it stands out as a leader, offering the most comprehensive palette of colors for laminated glass.

Colors

The Vanceva color system provides architects and designers with complete creative freedom when working with glass. The colored interlayers can be combined to create over 2000 transparent, translucent, or opaque color options, achieving the desired tone and intensity. These films can be paired with low-iron, tinted, or reflective glass, making the design possibilities virtually limitless.

Technology

All Vanceva colored interlayers are made from temperature- and light-resistant pigments, ensuring fade resistance. To guarantee high quality and long-term color stability, these pigments undergo rigorous durability testing. As a result, laminated glass made with these interlayers provides effective protection against harmful UV radiation, reduces the solar energy transmission coefficient, and limits temperature increase. The interlayers block up to 99% of harmful UV radiation at wavelengths up to 380 nm, delaying color fading and the degradation of fabrics and furnishings.

Translucency and Opacity

White interlayers complement the most spectacular designs, allowing for total opacity and privacy or translucency that ensures light transmission. Additionally, they provide greater flexibility by enabling graduated translucency between extreme solutions.

Additional Benefits of Laminated Glass

In addition to its renowned color technology, all Vanceva colored interlayers offer the traditional benefits characteristic of laminated glass:

• Safety: protection for building occupants and pedestrians from accidental impacts, breakage, or falling glass.
• Security: protection against burglary and intrusion, ballistic resistance (against bullets), and resistance to explosive blasts.
• Acoustics: reduction of unwanted noise penetration into the building interior.
• Sunlight: filtering over 99% of UV rays, controlling visible light transmission, reducing building heating, and preventing thermal shocks.
• Storms and Hurricanes: a wide range of transparent and translucent glazing solutions designed to protect against storm damage.

How to Create Colored VSG Glass

The Vanceva system is based on a palette of primary colors: pink, yellow, blue, and gray. It allows designers and glass manufacturers to combine multiple colored interlayers with varying levels of intensity, enabling the creation of thousands of shades.

In addition to the primary colors, there are also special colors. These colors, thanks to a high concentration of color pigments in a single interlayer, make it possible to create laminated glass with a stunning hue (e.g., Deep Red).
