40 BOND STREET APT. BUILDING

A low-maintenance, protective glass coating was requested by the developer and architects (pre-installation) to protect the exterior windows on the distinguished New York apartment building from stains and scratches, as well as to help promote long-term sustainability.

After thorough research, the specific coating chosen by the architects was CRICURSA Shield (DFI easy-to-clean coating). Joan Tarrus, Marketing Director of CRICURSA, stated, “Diamon-Fusion® glass treatment can be applied to any glass built-up (laminated, IGU, tempered, flat, and curved). And unlike other ‘self-cleaning’ coatings, Diamon-Fusion® fills in the microscopic peaks and valleys of the glass, making the surface water-repellent, as well as easier and faster to clean.”

The entire “coke-bottle” façade was fashioned from curved glass panels manufactured in Barcelona by a DFI partner, and highly-specialized architectural glass producer, CRICURSA. The Company’s coating CRICURSA Shield was applied to the glass pre-installation (at the factory level), ensuring maximum output and uniform coverage on every glass unit.
