What is Facade Visual Harmonization?
• When vision and spandrel glass seamlessly blend across the envelope exterior
• Harmonization is achieved when a precise silicone spandrel coating color is crafted to match the specified vision glass IGU configuration
Facade Visual Harmonization in 3 Easy Steps
1. Replicate vision IGU specification for spandrel and maintain low-e coating on surface #2
2. Spandrel glass color spectrum simplified – utilize harmonizing color selection guide
3. Specify surface #4 or #6 application of OPACI-COAT-300® - cite color number and name
Product Benefits
