Featured Project:
Law/Kingdon Office Remodel

<< Back to Previous Page

With interior office design trends moving to more contemporary styles with sweeping curves and floor plans designed to maximize openness, the newly remodeled Law/Kingdon offices place this architectural firm ahead of the curve.

The small conference room highlights one of the unique aspects of the Law/Kingdon office remodel project. Two Laguna Series sliding glass doors by CR Laurence positioned on opposite ends of the small conference room are mounted directly to the glass wall sliding on an aluminum track above the doorway. Laguna doors are a unique feature of this remodel project because they are one of only a few sliding door systems designed to be mounted in an all-glass opening.

Due to increased stress, glass wall systems require the use of tempered, heavy glass — ½”glass or thicker. When traditional clear glass is specified in heavier thicknesses, its appearance takes on a pale green tint. The thicker the glass is, the more apparent the green tint becomes. The reason for this is due to the amount of iron present in the glass.

½” Starphire, a low-iron glass by PPG Industries, transmits 91 percent of visible light while traditional ½” clear glass transmits 85 percent. The ultraclear character of Starphire glass creates a crisp, color neutral aesthetic ideal for interior glass wall systems as well as other decorative applications.
