PPG DURANAR Coatings Provide Distinctive Effects to Calgary Central Library Façade
PITTSBURGH – PPG announced that PPG DURANAR™ coatings are among those featured on the Calgary Central Library in Calgary, Canada. The library, which opened last November, was one of Architectural Digest magazine’s 12 most anticipated buildings of 2018.
Designed by Snøhetta of Oslo, Norway, and DIALOG of Calgary, the library features a dynamic triple-glazed façade that incorporates more than 460 alternating polygonal panels of fritted glass and iridescent aluminum. The architects selected PPG Duranar coatings for the window frames and other extruded aluminum components to evoke snowflakes or ice cracking on a lake.
