Kommerling makes its mark with G-Smatt Glass

Adhesives and sealants manufacturer Kommerling has joined forces with South Korean firm G-SMATT Global Co to develop G-Smatt Glass, a glass-based product that can be used to turn buildings into media screens

The electronic building material, thought to be the first of its kind, is the result of a development project that began in April 2013.

Technology within the product includes stripping a metalised coating to facilitate the correct mapping, which then co-ordinates and synchronises the power and programmes.

Chris Davis from Kommerling comments: “When used on a large scale as an active media façade on buildings this glass has a jaw dropping effect that delivers a real 'wow' factor.

“It will turn the building into an instant landmark and a point of focus. 

“Not only suitable as a media façade, G-Glass is also appropriate for all kinds of architectural applications including windows, curtain wall, partitions, balustrades, floors, interior design, escalators, in short wherever flat glass is used.”
