VancevaTM delivers rainbow effect on campus
Students at the Collège Anne de Bretagne in France’s Loire Valley must smile as they arrive at their colorfully designed school. The entire upper level provides a scintillating and shimmering effect, due to sunscreens made up of laminated glass with Vanceva interlayers, which offer a rainbow-like palette of colors that encircle the entire building level.
A lot of creative thinking went into the design and functionality of the new college. In place of traditional solar windows to control the impact of the sun’s rays, triangular laminated glass sunscreens form a three-dimensional protective solar shield around the building. The laminated panes feature Vanceva interlayers in every color of the rainbow to artfully deflect the heat of the sun’s rays while still allowing natural light to flow into the interior.
The architect carefully selected the sunscreen’s colorful palette to interact with the emotions and sensations of students and faculty. The final result is an illuminating and contemporary image that provides a warm welcome to classrooms. The building unifies, in one strong and powerful architectural image, the objectives of every contemporary scholastic structure—an attentive integration into diverse surroundings and an overall beauty in which each student and faculty member can take pride.
Vanceva™ Colors
The Vanceva colors interlayer system enhances the style of laminated safety glass like never before—combining color and white interlayers to produce more than 69,000 transparent, translucent, or solid colored glass combinations - creating just the right look and ambience. In fact, no other PVB interlayer system offers the ability to achieve the range of colors and varied translucency in glass that Vanceva does.
