Viridian’s LightBridge
Cited a top design priority for homeowners, natural light is an essential element in creating a comfortable, healthy, light filled and more valuable home.
This desire for natural light was recently highlighted in a CSIRO survey which found that homeowners felt that –‘good natural light’ was the most important feature from a set list of top priorities for a home.*
Large areas of ordinary glass lose too much heat and don’t comply with energy regulations, leaving homeowners to face the challenge of achieving adequate natural light levels and maintaining an energy efficient home. As a result of this many six star houses are often built with smaller windows to achieve the required NatHERS star rating.
Viridian has the solution – its recently introduced LightBridgeTM. A range of high performance insulating glass units (IGU) developed for residential buildings, LightBridgeTM allows homeowners to enjoy abundant natural light levels in their home without compromising energy efficiency.
Viridian’s LightBridgeTM range offers homeowners the opportunity to more than double the glazed area in a home as compared to the same home using ordinary glass.
“This is because choosing high performance double glazed windows like LightBridgeTM means the permissible window area can be much larger whilst still achieving the same NatHERS star rating. This provides consumers with exactly what they want: a comfortable energy-efficient home with light, views, and a sense of space,” explains Viridian’s Home Comfort General Manager, Daniel Black.
“We wanted to create windows that behaved like a “window” when it comes to light but behaved a bit more like a “wall” when it comes to insulation.”
“High performance glass allows homeowners to enjoy a healthier, more comfortable, light filled, better quality and better valued home with an enhanced indoor outdoor connection,” Daniel added.
Choosing LightBridgeTM helps facilitate increased natural light levels as well as giving homeowners the option of choosing different glass tones to help vary the degree of sun and glare coming into their home.
The LightBridgeTM range is configured for three standard make-ups: base product, Sanctuary Level 1 and Sanctuary Level 2 – offering differing levels of enhanced noise reduction, security and UV-control depending on what the homeowner needs are, the specific site requirements or demands of the neighbouring environment.
With an exceptionally low U-value, LightBridgeTM is a market-leading insulation performance residential glazing product suitable for windows and doors capable of taking a double glazed unit.
The LightBridgeTM range is available in four standard colour/privacy combinations: Clear and Grey, each available in a transparent or translucent (privacy) variant.
