Enhancing aesthetics with the application of ultra white glass for facade design

As a material that welcomes light and creates diverse architectural spaces, ultra white glass contributes to changing the face of urban architecture, creating a major shift in the modernization of construction works. With outstanding advantages, ultra white glass is increasingly widely used in the fields of architecture and construction, especially in facade design. This is one of the potential options, helping to create a unique image and style for the works.

ADVANTAGES OF ULTRA WHITE GLASS IN FACADE DESIGN

In recent years, ultra white glass has become an indispensable trend in the field of architecture. Especially in facade design, ultra white glass is considered the optimal solution. 

Due to its lower iron content (the element that creates the characteristic blue color of glass) than conventional building glass, ultra white glass ensures uniformity of glass color or maximum transparency, while enhancing brilliance from every viewing angle. Therefore, the application of ultra white glass for facades of high-rise buildings, offices, administrative centers, commercial centers, and luxury housing brings open space..  

Light transmittance up to 91.5%, higher than normal glass (about 86%) and 99.96% color rendering of ultra white glass helps objects to be reflected realistically, clearly and not affected by the blue light at the edge of the glass, effectively meeting the aesthetic effect of the works, enhancing the modern, sophisticated, luxurious and impressive beauty of the works.

Ultra white glass creates a feeling of more open and airy space. In temperate and cold countries, the application of ultra white glass for facades has become popular because it helps optimize natural light while ensuring that the amount of heat absorbed is not too large, affecting the air inside. 

Not only creating open, vibrant spaces with high light transmittance, ultra white glass also helps to display realistic and clear images of displayed products. That perfect visual effect makes ultra white glass the optimal choice for facade design of car showrooms, fashion stores, jewelry displays, phone stores, wine stores....

Another outstanding advantage of ultra white glass is that it brings people closer to nature. Interaction with the outside scenery and natural light makes living and working spaces more comfortable, pleasant and healthy. According to the World Green Building Council's report on "Health, Happiness and Productivity in the Office", people work more effectively when they are more likely to use windows, especially when they have a view of interacting with nature (Source: Website Building Design Construction network). With the ability to optimize natural light, ultra white glass helps save energy costs, thereby contributing to increasing the sustainability of the project. 

ANGSANA QUAN LAN HA LONG: ELEVATING THE IMAGE WITH ULTRA WHITE GLASS

Recognizing the outstanding advantages of ultra white glass in enhancing aesthetic efficiency, the Angsana Quan Lan Ha Long project (Quang Ninh) invested by Viglacera Van Hai Joint Stock Company has cleverly applied this type of glass in the design.

The complex is built on an area of ​​357,907m2, including 6 functional areas: central hotel area; resort villa area; ecological green area and landscape green area; natural forest area; bathing area, exploitation of natural white sand beach; and auxiliary area and technical infrastructure. The project stands out with its design interacting with nature, not only thanks to the open and airy space around but also thanks to the application of ultra white glass, making the project more modern, professional, luxurious and classy.

In the Angsana Quan Lan Ha Long Resort project, ultra white glass has been used by architects to make curved railings. With maximum transparency, ultra white glass railings contribute to creating a modern and impressive appearance for the project, while creating interaction and connection with the wild and open nature by the sea, bringing an impressive and unique experience.. 

Tempered and laminated, ultra white glass is therefore highly durable. In addition, this type of glass can be customized with different shapes, sizes, thicknesses and finishes to suit individual preferences and needs. With the advantages of durability and flexibility, ultra white glass becomes an ideal material for application in railing design. 

Mr. Vu Duc Dung - Technical Director of Viet Nhat VSG Safety Glass Company (Viglacera's ultra white glass processing company) said: "In modern architecture, ultra white glass with high light transmittance helps to bring more natural light into the room, thereby creating a bright, airy space, while contributing to saving artificial lighting energy, contributing to environmental protection. Combining ultra white glass with coated glass to both meet high light transmittance and reduce heat transmission is also an optimal solution. In addition, after processing, products made from ultra white glass are resistant to impact, scratches and have good heat resistance, ensuring safety for users”. 

The application of ultra white glass in facades can bring higher initial costs than conventional glass. This poses a challenge for investors and designers in choosing materials and designs that suit the budget and requirements of the project. However, investing in ultra white glass also brings long-term benefits in terms of aesthetics, energy efficiency and increasing the value of construction works. These advantages make ultra white glass potentially become the top choice in facade design, bringing outstanding aesthetic value and utility to the works.
