Creating A Butterfly Haven
»»Butterflies are
beautiful and delicate creatures
– and very climate sensitive. So
when planners were designing
the Konya Tropical Butterfly
Garden in Konya, Turkey, they
recognised it was vital to secure
the best, most reliable means
of maintaining stable heat and
humidity in the museum.
That’s why they turned to
Guardian Industries’ Glass
Group in Europe, a leading

manufacturer of high-quality
commercial, residential, interior
and automotive glass products, to
provide the nearly 1,500 pieces
of different-sized glass needed
during construction.
Specifically, they selected
Guardian SunGuard® SNX
60/28, which lets 60% of
sunlight in but keeps out 72%
of the sun’s heat – allowing the
temperature inside the building
to be precisely regulated. The

SunGuard eXtra selective (SNX)
range is the highest performing
solar protective glass Guardian
has to offer. This glass also offers
excellent aesthetics, due to its
neutral transparent colour and its
low reflection.
