Product Overview
We are preferred suppliers of Vanceva in Australia, supplying architects and designers with the Vanceva colour system since 2010.
The Vanceva base palette comprises 12 transparent, 2 translucent, and 2 opaque colours. Using this base palette, blending of up to four colours within a single glass panel results in over 17,000 possible combinations. A Vanceva panel is comprised of between 1 and 4 coloured interlayers, permanently laminated between two pieces of glass using a PVB interlayer.
For projects requiring a frosted look for design or privacy, Vanceva offers translucent white interlayers. The distinctive Polar White interlayer can provide an opaque effect with a 7% light transmission feature. By combining different layers, you can achieve various levels of opacity, enabling you to tailor the privacy and translucency to your specific project needs.
Vanceva coloured interlayers can be combined with clear or low-iron glass types, and even with low-E glass for enhanced solar and UV protection. Vanceva can also be configured with ImagInk digital ceramic printing to achieve areas of opaque and translucent colour within the same glass panel.
