It has been recently exposed in the Fad Gallery (Barcelona) such a singular glass pane, designed by the prominent architectural firm Rafael de La-Hoz for a Hospital in Móstoles (Madrid).
The building has a rainscreen facade formed by around one thousand romboidal bubble glass units.
Cricursa has been selected to manufacture the glass panels, also giving technical support during the design process done by the architectural team.
The geometry is a double bending, first in one of the axis of the romboid, and secondly a spherical shape sited at the centre of the pane with around 400 mm of deflection.
Glass measures are 4900 mm width, 3360 mm height and 12 mm thickness.
The composition is formed by low iron glass, with screen-printed in white with a particular pattern, achieving privacy and solar protection.
Curved annealed glass technology offers versatility and opens up to endless structural possibilities.
