BARCELONA CONVENTION CENTER

After deciding to move forward on their newly expanded project, the managing partners and architect of the Barcelona Convention Center requested that an easy-to-clean coating be applied to all the glass panels – with the goal of reducing cleaning time and increasing long-term durability.

Highly-specialized, and award-winning architectural glass producer, CRICURSA, was chosen to not only supply the glass, but apply their Diamon-Fusion® system – CRICURSA Shield. The protective coating creates a water-repellent surface, which allows for easier cleaning and protection against scratches, abrasions, and environmental elements – reducing the time and frequency needed to clean.

The oversized, curved and flat glass panels, which range up to six meters in height, were factory-applied with CRICURSA Shield (Diamon-Fusion® protective coating). “This is an amazing project,” commented Joan Tarrus, Marketing Director at CRICURSA. “Incorporating the most effective hydrophobic surface treatment, Cricursa Shield, a Diamon-Fusion® system, will reduce maintenance costs and provide better protection.”
