VIVIGRAPHIX™ GRAPHICA™

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
ViviGraphix™ Graphica™ is an architectural glass with graphic patterns laminated between glass layers, offering design flexibility for both interior and exterior applications. It requires minimal maintenance due to its internal decorative treatment.
Product Features
  • Available in various glass thicknesses and types, including tinted, annealed, heat strengthened, and tempered.
  • Manufactured to specification, cut to size, and ready to install.
Material Description
The product is defined by four key parameters: Configuration, Graphic Interlayer, LumiLevel™, and Finish, which determine light transmission, pattern and color options, translucency, and surface appearance.
Applications
Ideal for architectural accents such as columns, railings, partitions, and artwork, with sizes up to 60" x 120" and compatibility with various glass hardware components.
Glass Characteristics
  • Available in annealed, tempered, or heat strengthened glass.
  • Class A fire rated according to ASTM E84-09.
  • Can be flat or curved, with specific guidelines for curved profiles.
Configuration Options
  • View: Double-sided with a graphic interlayer between two transparent glass lites.
  • Reflect: Single-sided with a graphic interlayer between a transparent lite and a reflective backer.
Graphic Interlayer Patterns
Available in ten standard patterns with options for custom patterns using Pantone, Benjamin Moore, or Sherwin Williams colors.
LumiLevel Options
Six options available to measure translucency and diffuse light, applicable to both View and Reflect configurations.
Finish Options
  • Pearlex+™: Finely etched, non-reflective, minimal glare, highly durable.
  • Standard: Smooth, reflective, high glare, durable.
Hardware Options
Various mounting options available, including slot mount standoff, edge grip standoff, round standoff, spider fitting, square mall clamp, and tapered rail system.
Sound Attenuation
VividGlass interlayer improves acoustical performance, reducing environmental noise.
UV Screening
Blocks over 99.5% of solar radiation at wavelengths 380 NM and below.
Handling and Maintenance
  • Plan orders to minimize storage time and handling.
  • Inspect shipments for damage and report issues immediately.
  • Store glass indoors at moderate temperatures and handle with care to prevent damage.
Installation and Protection Guidelines
Inspect finished surfaces and glass edges for damage before installation. Install after potentially damaging construction activities are completed, or protect the glazing if not possible. Clean excess materials with commercial solvents and avoid abrasive cleansers.
Product Performance and Compliance
Complies with major building codes as laminated safety glass and meets U.S. and Canadian industry standards, including ASTM and ANSI specifications.
Inspection Guidelines
Vision area glazing guidelines specify acceptable characteristics like bubble size, discoloration, and dirt spots, ensuring minimal visual defects and structural integrity.
Glazing Guidelines
The glazing system must support the glass structurally, cushion it to prevent load points, and allow no metal-to-glass contact. Design considerations include expansion joints and deflection limits.
Glazing Channel and Accessories
The glazing channel must cushion and retain the glass while preventing metal-to-glass contact. Proper drainage is essential, and sealants should be non-hardening and compatible with the laminated glass.
