A permanent exhibition in Rijeka, Croatia, consisting of 10 units, including a historical overview of pharmacies and the reconstruction of a real pharmacy office from the early 20th century is one of the most recent projects where STRATO® products have taken centre stage through an international partnership.
The modernity of the museum and the experience offered to visitors is already perceived at the level of the environment and the materials used for the installations. Among these, laminated glass plays a fundamental role. Widely used in all the spaces of the Croatian museum, laminated glass is the protagonist of multiple units, such as the timeline dedicated to the development of pharmacy at a local level, where it helps to make the educational path clear and immersive, as well as enhancing the aesthetics of the museum spaces.
The aesthetic and performance requirements of the client found a concrete and optimal response in the combination of two EVA films from the STRATO® series, the range of made-in-Italy interlayers available in different colours and finishes, in order to create specific curved laminated glasses:
- STRATO® LATTE, an EVA film ideal for interior lighting thanks to its ability to allow light to filter through the glass without reflections. The light is thus diffused uniformly and, thanks to the satin texture, typical of the STRATO® FROST line, creates harmonious frost effects even on curved surfaces
- STRATO® EXTRA CLEAR, a high-transparency interlayer that can be applied internally and externally, which guarantees optimal light transmission and is able to filter more than 99 percent of UV rays, while guaranteeing maximum protection
The result is a curved laminated glass characterized by high aesthetic elegance and a superior level of resistance, as well as the lighting, transparency and UV protection characteristics of the interlayers of which it is composed. In this way, Satinal, thanks to the versatility and countless combination possibilities of the interlayers in the STRATO® line, has put its technical know-how in the glass industry at the service of culture and its dissemination to the general public.
Satinal is an italian leading manufacturer of 100 percent made in Italy STRATO® EVA interlayers. Satinal offers a wide variety of products to meet the needs of their customers. The quality controls, which are carried out in Satinal’s R&D Lab, aim to guarantee perfect adhesion of the material to the glass surface. The deep experience acquired by Satinal in the treatment of EVA-based materials is essential to master its potential applications and fully exploit their characteristics.
