Architects' Latest Tool: GlasLab Glass Library

Facade has always been a vital component in architecture and design, being the most visual part of a building design while needing to perform multiple functions for the comfort of occupiers such as thermal insulation,  acoustic attenuation and weather proofing. To cater to the specific needs of architects and designers, a unique Web App has recently been launched, called Glas Lab, designed to streamline the process of searching for glass, cladding materials, facade systems and specialist products by allowing users to filter based on various performance criteria, and showcasing images of benchmark projects for instant visualisation.

Glas Lab empowers collaboration by allowing suppliers to easily add new products, giving architects and designers access to a broad range of materials in one place. The app streamlines communication, enabling architects to directly request glass samples, simplifying the sampling process and fostering stronger supplier relationships. With upcoming features like integrated industry news and updates on glass technology, Glas Lab encourages ongoing interaction, knowledge sharing, and collaboration within the facade community. Created by experienced architects and facade consultants, Glas Lab is designed to transform how professionals connect, collaborate, and innovate, becoming a vital tool for the industry.
