What are the certifications used in Zoo Glass?
Zoo and Aquarium glass falls in line with the current generation of impact-rated glass. AGNORA use EN 356 ratings to test the durability of glass makeups and the overall maximum energy a glass lite can endure. These ratings are third-party verified, with certificates available upon request. Originally designed to ensure the safety of storefronts and luxury residences, the same applies for the safety of occupants and animals within the zoo.
Is there a size limitation?
Just your imagination! In fact, as the largest glass fabricators in North America, you can fully certify zoo and aquarium glazing up to 130″ x 300.” That’s a lot of coverage!
