Glass

Description

The Danmarks Nationalbank building in Havnegade, Copenhagen, was designed by the Danish architect Arne Jacobsen and constructed in the period 1965-78. In 2009 the Heritage Agency of Denmark (now the Danish Agency for Culture) decided to list the building because of its architectural and cultural historical values. The building in Havnegade is due for a major and necessary renovation. It is a large-scale renovation, which is deemed necessary by experts and which must consider the fact that the building is listed. The renovation will respect these values. With this procurment, Danmarks Nationalbank purchases 1200 sheets of monolitic (6 mm) solarbronze Float glass as further specified in the tender documents. The building has been categorised a listed building and the renovation of the glass façade, including the specific Float glass, is thus subject to the approval from the Danish Agency for Culture (Slots- og Kulturstyrelsen). The colour of the Float glass is to be exactly the same as the existing float glass in order to ensure the continuously equivalent appearance of the building. The existing float glass has been produced by PPG Industries, Inc.
