LINIT EcoGlass solar is characterized by a silky-smooth surface which not only allows ideal energy gain but also meets highest aesthetic demands due to its elegant appearance. This surface was developed by the Glasfabrik LAMBERTS for Steven Holl Architects, New York, and was applied in the Nelson Atkins Museum of Arts (you can find the brochure in the downloads below) for the first time. Since then LINIT solar was used not only in several follow-up projects of Steven Holl, like the Pratt Institute (New York City, USA), the Swiss Embassy (Washington, USA) and Herning Center of the Arts (Herning, Denmark), but also in many other buildings of highest aesthetic demands across the globe. LINIT S is a U-profiled glass with a sandblasted inner surface refracting and diffusing the light completely. As a result, you can no longer see clear outlines (in contrast to directed permeability). This creates a soft, whitish hue making the LINIT facade more attractive and providing an additional lightness at comparatively low costs – especially when the glass facade is backlit. The brilliance of such a facade can be enhanced by using so called low iron LINIT instead of standard glass: low iron LINIT, due to its lower iron content, significantly reduces the green tint usually found in standard glass and thereby accentuates the visual appearance of the sandblasting.
