Maximum performance transparency and design for your project.
GlassecViracon innovates once again with the GV Prime line, formed of glass with high performance coating – high light transmittance, low reflection and neutral appearance.
In this sense, you can explore the possibilities of this glass to create spaces with a complete interaction between the internal and external areas, taking advantage of the balance between light transmittance and solar factor, valuing incoming light, but not to the detriment of performance.
The high transparency, combined with the neutral color, makes the glass maintain the same appearance, even when viewed from different angles.
With the GV Prime line your project will be on the next level of performance and elegance.
Main Characteristics
Superior performance with high-performance coating, an excellent solution for projects seeking sustainability certifications such as LEED®, as it provides energy savings by allowing natural light and blocking heat.
Variety of neutral aesthetics with uniform colors, from any angle of vision.

GlassecViracon uses objective nomenclature to identify each of its products, classified into five categories:
• Product name;
• Type;
• Aspect;
• Thickness;
• Code — GA for Standard products;
• Code — GV for Prime (select) products;
• Code — GL for customized products.
This helps you easily select the product you want to specify, with the respective performance details.

Quality permeates all of GlassecViracon’s processes.
The excellence of our products and services is part of our brand, recognized by our customers in Brazil and overseas.
We are a sound, responsible company with 30 years’ experience, and we meet all domestic and international standards and requirements, such as traceability of all products, from arrival of the raw material at our manufacturing facilities to installation.
All inputs used in the processing of our products are approved by the raw material manufacturers and undergo rigorous control systems in our Quality Laboratory.
Certifications
ISO 9001
In 2002, GlassecViracon was awarded its first ISO 9001 certification, and underwent recertification auditing in 2009, 2014 and 2020.
ISO 9001 covers all of our operations — from planning, procurement, manufacturing, shipping, sales, customer service and office services — to ensure high quality in our services and products.
IGCC
Certified by AMS, Inc. under the Insulating Glass Certification Council program, which ensures the life of GlassecViracon’s insulating glass through periodic plant audits and rigorous tests carried out in international laboratories.
SGCC
Certified by AMS, Inc. under the Safety Glazing Certification Council program , which certifies the safety and quality of GlassecViracon’s laminated safety glass through periodic plant audits and rigorous tests carried out in international laboratories.
MDCA
Approved by interlayer suppliers under the Miami-Dade County Department of Regulatory & Economic Resources program, which qualifies our company to supply laminated safety glass to regions affected to hurricanes, such as Florida, United States, and regions of Central America and the Caribbean, among others.
Laboratory
We are the only company in Brazil that owns a Quality Laboratory where tests are carried out to guarantee the color and shade homogeneity of our glass.
All batches of raw materials undergo spectrophotometric tests, in addition to specific tests according to the product’s characteristics.
Control systems for laminated glass:
• Normative Tests – Quality tests that ensure that the laminated glass meets product safety requirements (Baked Test, Boil Test, Impact Test, Ball Drop, Moisture Test with and without condensation).
• Pummel Adhesion Test – Test to detect the level of adhesion between the interlayer of the laminated glass.
Control systems for heat-strengthened glass and tempered glass:
• iLook – High-precision scanner to ensure planimetry and optical quality.
• Heat Soak Test (HST) – Thermal test to reduce the risk of spontaneous breakage of tempered glass by detecting the presence of nickel sulfide in the substrate.
• Normative Tests – Quality tests that ensure that the tempered glass meets product safety requirements.
GlassecViracon also has a vertical machining center to process extra-large size glass with high precision and quality in holes, cuts and finishing.
