A palette of possibilities

The Vanceva color system is based on a foundational palette of four key colors (pink, blue, grey, and yellow) in two different light transmittances to create a base palette of eight colors. Similar to the CMYK color system most often used in printing, the Vanceva color system allows architects, designers, and glass fabricators to layer several different color interlayers together—in different intensity levels—to create thousands of color possibilities.

It can block up to 99% of damaging UV radiation up to 380 nm and reduce solar heat gain.

How to specify Vanceva colors

The Vanceva color system offers thousands of translucent glass colors – giving architects and designers more creative freedom with glass than ever before.Choose from one to four layers of foundational Vanceva color interlayers to construct custom-colored laminated glass. The maximum recommended number of layers is four, therefore, each Vanceva color has been assigned a four-character number. Each character represents a layer from the Vanceva palette used to create all Vanceva color interlayer combinations.

Vanceva PVB interlayers can also be combined with Saflex PVB interlayers to help meet structural, acoustic, and safety requirements. Combining Vanceva with Saflex PVB interlayers provides excellent post-breakage safety because, in cases of impact, the shards of broken glass remain adhered to the interlayer, reducing risk of cuts or injury. What’s more, combing colored interlayers with clear structural, acoustic, or safety interlayers is an effective way to create memorable and safer exterior and interior safety glass without having to increase glass thickness for the desired color intensity.
