Straight is for squares

The Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade Burnley Complex is a picture of thermal efficiency. Distinctive glass atria not only handle heat transfer effectively, they also help channel fresh air up through the building. The atria's stand-out curved glass elements are also central to the training facility's contemporary appeal.

Bent & Curved Glass (BCG) offers a variety of architectural glass solutions for commercial and private buildings, says architectural products manager Stephen Togher.

"On this project we worked with the architects at the concept stages to facilitate their design intent and ensure the required glass performance could be achieved. Our involvement continued with input at the construction detailing stage with the facade fabrication and installation contractors and then through to the actual glass manufacturing."

"Besides the wow factor of the curved glass and the design solutions it provided, BCG was able to produce Grade-A laminated safety glass incorporating toughened Low E coated curved glass in double glazed units in order to meet all the functional requirements of the 5 Star Energy rated Burnley Complex."

BCG is a specialised curved glass manufacturer producing a full range of curved glass products, including toughened, laminated, annealed and double-glazed curved glass. The company also provides custom PVB laminated glass products.

"All processes are managed in-house to ensure product quality and delivery timing," says Togher.
