Situated at 1664 W. Division Street, Centrum Wicker Park offers luxury living in Chicago and uses Vitro glass to achieve views and natural light.
Project details and Vitro products used
These residences are designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering natural light and city views. To achieve this while maintaining solar control, Hirsch MPG selected Solarban R67 glass by Vitro.
Solarban R67 glass (formerly Solarban 67 glass) offers solar control performance. It combines energy efficiency with color clarity and fidelity, transmitting and reflecting ambient light and colors. Enhanced by its low interior and exterior reflectivity, Solarban R67 glass offers crispness and visual clarity.
In a standard one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU), Solarban R67 delivers a visible light transmittance (VLT) of 54% and a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.29. In addition to standard clear glass, Solarban R67 glass can also be paired with Vitro’s low-iron substrates, Starphire Ultra-Clear glass and Acuity glass, and range of blue, green and earth-toned tinted glasses.
