Vetrotech Introduces Contraflam One

Contraflam One in use

Contraflam One is now in production at Vetrotech Saint-Gobain’s new Faribault production headquarters.

CONTRAFLAM OneProduct features

Contraflam One leverages more than 40 years of Vetrotech expertise in interlayer technology. It has three key advantages:

  1. Light transmission of up to 90%.
  2. Its impact on the environment is lighter, with up to 35% less embodied carbon than conventional multi-chamber products.
  3. It is lightweight, which allows for faster installation, saving time and money on the job site.

Contraflam One is distinguished by a single-chamber foaming interlayer for all fire-resistance ratings, called HybridCore Technology.

What the company says

“This is the biggest change in the fire-rated glazing industry since the original Contraflam introduced fire-resistive glazing in North America,” says Michael Miller, national sales manager for Vetrotech Saint-Gobain in North America. “Contraflam One is the direct result of Vetrotech and Saint-Gobain’s commitment to sustainable construction. We changed everything from our headquarters, our production process and decades of multi-chamber interlayer expertise. Now the results speak for themselves.”

Customers can now contact their Vetrotech sales representatives in North America to discuss projects for Contraflam One’s core configurations in VDS framing.
