Developers of Jeddah Tower - what will be the word's tallest building - have selected Guardian Glass to supply the facade glass for the project's over one kilometre high landscape. Jeddah Tower is an unprecedented project that dares to go beyond the one-kilometre threshold. The super-tall building structure is expected to be completed in 2019 and will cover an area of 5.3 million square meters and include 439 apartments, 200 hotel rooms, 59 elevators and 2,205 parking spaces. It is set to break new world records for tallest building, highest occupied floor, highest architectural top, highest tip and highest sky terrace. Guardian Glass will provide more than 400,000 square meters, the area of around 55 football fields, of aesthetic and functional glass panels that meet the iconic landmark's complex energy and performance requirements. The glass chosen for the massive structure is a custom-made, double-pane glass system combining Guardian's popular SunGuard Silver 20 and SunGuard Neutral 60 coated glass. The robust technology is made to withstand a 2.5-metre radius sway without breakage or leakage.
