Guardian SunGuard Expansion Update!
Introducing the SNX 62/27
 | |
Photo courtesy of Guardian.com
|
The newest entry in Guardian's SuperNeutral® Series has Guardian's highest light-to-solar-gain ratio (LSG) ever. SNX 62/27 delivers 62% visible light transmission and a low 0.27 solar heat gain coefficient, for an impressive LSG ratio of 2.30.
This performance means SNX 62/27 lets in lots of natural light but still blocks solar heat, saving on energy costs and helping projects qualify for LEED credits.
SNX 62/27 is now available from Guardian. We currently have in stock 1/4" annealed and 1/4" temperable and initially only in the Clear substrate. The other four colored substrates--UltraWhite™ low-iron, CrystalGray®, Green and TwilightGreen™--will be brought in on an as needed basis.For all inquiries and orders, please contact us today.
If you are attending the AIA Conference this week, you can catch a glimpse of the new product at the Guardian Booth #2235. Read more.

Great Glasswerk:
Sports Memorabilia and Glass Portraiture by Greg Holder, Icons By Holder
The Greeks memorialized their gods through sculpture. The Romans
carved their gladiators in stone. Today, premiere athletes are the modern idols, and artists like Greg Holder memorialize their image and aspirations into a modern medium--glass.
In this issue, we proudly showcase Greg Holder's collection, all pieces of which were carved onto Glasswerks Annealed, Polished Glass. The collection includes top athletes spanning four of the most popular American sports: boxing, basketball, baseball, and football. View the entire collection in Hi-Res now. Each glass work below is a one-of-a-kind piece that underwent a three-step production process: 1) sketching of an image by hand; 2) transferring the sketch to a hand-cut stencil; and 3) sandblasting the glass using the stencil as a guide.
