Beat the Heat: 5 Innovative Façades Equipped with Fritted Glass
In today’s world, big companies, institutions, and hospitals use frit glasses to beat the heat. Fritted glass is one of the world’s most widespread building materials used to encase the building structure from the heat and UV rays. Though using frit glass is an innovative method today, originally, it had been used in 1662 in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Europe, and the Mediterranean as a calcined blend of sand and flux which is melted to make glass.
