Viridian Glass has a long and
proud history in New Zealand of
innovation and kiwi know-how.
Through its various names over
the years, its story began in 1894,
when glass bottles were imported
by two brothers.
We hope Modern Living with
Glass showcases what we love
doing; creating spaces that
bring light, views, warmth and
comfort to the spaces where
people live, work and play.
Although the business has
changed from glass bottles to
frameless glass products and high
performance double-glazing,
we still pride ourselves on creating
products that enhance people's
lives and the built environment.

Glass balustrades offer a seamless
connection with the natural world. The
minimalist design of the top fixed Anzio
balustrade system in Queenstown
offers visitors a perfect view of Lake
Wakatipu.
When selecting the perfect balustrade,
it is important to understand that there
are different glass options. SentryGlas ® is
a stiff interlayer that can stand up-right,
even if both panes of glass have
been damaged providing safety and
style.

SentryGlas ® please scan

Glass balustrades maximise the perception
of space through a modern minimalist
appearance, perfect for retaining views for
staircases, balconies and decks. For
added safety and security we
recommend using SentryGlas ® by Viridian.
Face fixed balustrade systems, like
LUGANO below, are the latest trend
for clean flush surfaces, continuous
sightlines and square edges.
The fixings are concealed beneath
a slim profile aluminium cover
plate which can be colour
powder-coated to blend with

SYSTEMS
Glass is the only building material that
can be used for so many different
applications. Walls, doors, floors,
staircases, lifts and lift shafts can all be
substituted with glass,
adding light, and a greater
sense of space and style.

39
Sometimes a space needs to be both
connected to the outside world and independent
from it, letting in the light whilst keeping what’s
inside private. LuminaCloud TM (acid etched)
glass and LuminaMist TM (translucent
laminate glass) both strike this
balance and provide a smooth
satin finish.

/ GLASS
FLOORS
Traditionally dark spaces including
hallways and entrances can be
transformed with a glass floor. It works as
a viewing platform from above, but more
importantly, a great source of natural light
for the space below.

Premium performance glass
compliments any house that
is designed to withstand the
elements all year-round and
maximise natural light.
Both LightBridge TM and
PerformaTech TM 206 provide
year-round comfort and
savings due to their Low-E
coating applied to the glass.
This transparent metallic
coating traps and reflects heat
back into your home.

LightBridge TM
ULTIMATE WARMTH
& CLARITY
LightBridge TM is clearer than clear glass
and has a Low-E coating that captures
free energy from the heat and light of the
sun. It offers greater savings on energy
costs because the clear magnetic Low-E
coating reflects heat back into a room,
creating a more comfortable home.
Home owners no longer need to rely on
thermal drapes to keep the warmth in
their home all year-round.

GLAZING SELECTOR
To find the perfect glass for

PerformaTech TM 206 is a neutral
coloured glass that offers superior
solar control and warmth.
Traditionally, bronze or grey glass was
needed to counteract heat gain.
However, this is no longer needed,
as the superior
double silver coating
provides a neutral coating
that restricts excess heat,
and sunlight, to provide a
warm and cosy space all
year.
