Sixteen years of product R&D, commercialization and market validation have brought Advanced Glazings Ltd. to a unique leadership position in daylighting technology. We work with architects, building owners and stakeholders offering expertise in daylight modeling (Radiance), insulation value, solar heat gain, and product make-up. Each project is unique and requires unique attention to details to determine the best possible product variant to enable them to create the building as well as occupant experience they are looking to achieve. Our product lines are engineered to be highly configurable, allowing control of: - light diffusion and transmittance - control of solar gain - thermal insulation - sound transmittance - aesthetics - safety Our signature product, SOLERA® is designed to fit into Standard Framing Systems including Curtain wall, Standard 90° Corner and flush glazing systems, which makes it ideal for new construction and renovations. SOLERA® is designed to be UV stable and has a warranty against color shift.

Take a peak at these gorgeous photos of Burnhamthorpe Recreation Centre! Solera is prominently displayed in the aquatics area allowing lots of natural light in, without the hazards of glare for the safety of the swimmers! Well done everyone!
We are proud to unveil the newly renovated Burnhamthorpe Recreation Centre in Mississauga, ON - a 43,000 sq ft expansion which enhances the existing community hub and introduces an indoor aquatic centre featuring a 25-meter, six-lane pool, aquatic climbing wall, and therapeutic pool. A state-of-the-art fitness centre, multipurpose rooms, and admin offices create vibrant, welcoming spaces; along with new viewing areas and improved connections to existing recreation and ice arenas. The project is paving the way for sustainable development, incorporating Mississauga’s Corporate Green Building Standards, achieving Level 1 CGBS, and embracing principles like net zero and passive house design.

The Nova Scotia Community College - NSCC Sydney Waterfront Campus is on track to become one of the most sustainable and accessible building developments in the province. Designed by Moriyama Teshima Architects and Barrie and Langille Architects, the NSCC Sydney Waterfront project is a 305,000 sqft multi-building complex being constructed according to the highest standards in sustainability metrics of provincial jurisdiction, with plans to also achieve gold certification in accessibility standards through the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (RHFAC) program. “When complete, Sydney Waterfront Campus will exemplify the highest standards in accessibility and will feature universal design throughout, which means that it can be used by all people, to the greatest extent possible, regardless of age, size, or ability.” – Melissa MacKenzie (Mixer), RHFAC Professional and NSCC Facilities Learn more about this exciting, inclusive project by clicking the link below: https://lnkd.in/gPBrfQYx Urban Design & Landscape Architecture | Fathom Studio Structural | BMR Structural Engineering Ltd.

Thank you so much for sharing the love and spreading (day)light 🌞
Office Administrator | Architectural & Engineering Support | Member of Vallee's Social Committee and Hardware/Software Committee | Friday Snack Day Scheduler :)
We have a hunger for knowledge! Our architectural group attended an exciting and educational presentation on the benefits of Daylighting, Glare Control and Harvesting Daylight. The presentation highlighted the differences between “dark box” and daylighted buildings and rooms, and the impact of daylight on our daily activities. Thanks to our presenter Shane Webb from Advanced Glazings Ltd for taking the time to visit the Vallee office and sharing this knowledge with us! At Vallee, we promote continuing education for all our professionals. Regular lunch-and-learns keep us current on emerging technologies and products, provide opportunities to connect in person with vendors, and promote socialization within our organization – not to mention a great lunch! #AIAAccredited #Vallee
