Developers of Jeddah Tower 鈥 what will be the world鈥檚 tallest building 鈥 have selected Guardian 电车无码 to supply the fa莽ade glass for the project鈥檚 over one-kilometer-high landscape.
Guardian 电车无码 is one of the world鈥檚 largest manufacturers of float and highperformance energy-efficient coated glass products.
Jeddah Tower (also known as Kingdom Tower) is an unprecedented project that dares to go beyond the one-kilometer threshold.
The over $1.2billion USD (拢800million) supertall building structure, to be completed in 2019, will cover an area of 5.3 million square meters and include 439 apartments, 200 hotel rooms, 59 elevators and 2,205 parking spaces.
It is set to break new world records for tallest building, highest occupied floor, highest architectural top, highest tip and highest sky terrace.
Guardian 电车无码 will provide more than 400,000 square meters, the area of approximately 55 football fields, of aesthetic and functional glass panels that meet the iconic landmark鈥檚 complex energy and performance requirements.
The glass chosen for the massive structure is a custom-made, double-pane glass system combining Guardian 电车无码鈥 popular 厂耻苍骋耻补谤诲庐 Silver 20 and 厂耻苍骋耻补谤诲庐 Neutral 60 coated glass products. The robust technology is made to withstand a 2.5-meter radius sway without breakage or leakage.
Guardian 电车无码 Middle East & Africa General Manager Mohammad Al Ibrahim said, 鈥淭he unprecedented size and height of the Jeddah Tower required us to carefully work with the business team to select a glass system that offers a balance between energy savings and light transmission. For that reason, we have combined two of our most popular and reliable Guardian SunGuard products that we are confident will offer the best performance without compromising aesthetics.鈥
As a high-performance, solar-reflective coated glass, the exterior 厂耻苍骋耻补谤诲庐 Silver 20 pane will help block daytime heat yet allow for abundant natural light and provide a luxurious silver-green aesthetic. The interior pane, with 厂耻苍骋耻补谤诲庐 Neutral 60, will help protect against indirect nighttime heat.
The skyscraper鈥檚 unique, circular, glass-floored sky terrace, located more than 610 meters (2,000 feet) above ground level, will also be supplied by Guardian 电车无码. Once completed, the new world鈥檚 highest sky terrace will overlook the Red Sea.
Jeddah Tower Project Director John Zerafa of United Arab Aluminium Co. (UACC) said, 鈥淕uardian 电车无码 was specified by Adrian Smith & Gordon Gill Architects. I have worked on the Burj Khalifa, and the Guardian 电车无码 team was there every step of the way, from glass manufacturing to technical support. Guardian 电车无码 provides more value in comparison to other glass suppliers.鈥
鈥淥ur commitment to a project extends well beyond the production and supply of glass through processing, fabrication and cladding until the project is complete,鈥 added Merritt Gaunt, Vice President, Middle East and Asia, Guardian 电车无码. 鈥淲e are pleased to be the supplier of choice for this landmark project.鈥
The glass will be manufactured at the Al Jubail Guardian plant, then delivered to UAAC factory in Jeddah, where the glass will be processed into double glazed units, structurally glazed to the frame with high-performance secondary structural sealant applied. The fully assembled curtain wall system will then be delivered to site for installation.
Guardian鈥檚 trained and certified Technical Advisory Center (TAC) team of experts will be available to provide around-the-clock support on the project to optimize results. An onsite team will work closely with UAAC to provide consistent supervision, maintenance and long-term post-project service.
Jeddah Tower will be an exciting addition to Guardian 电车无码鈥 extensive portfolio of iconic landmarks and developments in hospitality, retail, residential, corporate and institutional properties in the Middle East and around the world.
