spaces that Solera® does a wonderful job of lighting,” he says. In order to service that market segment, Advanced Glazings has introduced their SoleraWall® insulated glass cladding system. That system is glass as a cladding, rather than traditional curtainwall, window, or storefront. It is applied directly over a primary structure, in a similar manner to insulated metal panels. The SoleraWall® system allows clients to mix and match metal panel, vision glass, and translucent engineered light diffusing glass – letting them provide their occupants with controlled views and exceptional natural light. In addition, SoleraWall® can provide insulation values approaching that of metal panels – “which was previously unheard of in glass,” Dr. Milburn says. Consequently, clients can easily integrate glass into their building while adhering to stringent and ever-evolving energy codes. To further address the metal building market, Advanced Glazings has also sought to team up with go-to-market partners. For example, earlier this year they announced a partnership with WinTech, a company based out Missouri that manufactures windows specifically for the metal building industry. WinTech is now integrating Solera® glass into their frames and selling a complete window product to their client. This collaboration makes it easier than ever for clients to create visually appealing and highvalue interiors, without compromising the costeffectiveness and rapid installation associated with pre-engineered metal buildings.
