A Dedicated, Scalable, Mullion-free Glass Barrier

As zoo and animal enclosure design evolve, so too does the need for strikingly clear visuals and a connection between visitors and animals.  Immense openings promote the sense of animal well-being.  However, these openings come at a cost.  Either requiring several mullions to support the glass or a fully custom glass solution.

ZOOView™ is the answer – providing an impact-certified, mullion-free enclosure without the added costs, complexities and installation headaches associated with traditional “custom enclosures.”

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! 

Is there scratch resistant glazing?

In fact, the Diamon-Fusion coating used to minimize cleaning cycles also builds a tough outer layer, perfect to stop scratches from beaks, claws, and other sharp animal parts. 

Do the interlayers affect common silicones and sealants?

No, common DOW and similar sealants bond with interlayers used at AGNORA.
