Cleaning high-rise buildings becomes particularly challenging due to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>frequent cleaning cycles<\/li>\n<li>complex access and height-related work<\/li>\n<li>high consumption of cleaning agents and water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Solution: nanopool<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> glass coating with nanotechnology<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring the construction of Gioia 22, the glass fa\u00e7ade was treated with a hydrophobic glass coating from Nanopool<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, under the supervision of our Italian partner APC \u2013 Vetroliquido. The project was carried out for the renowned fa\u00e7ade specialist Permasteelisa, underlining the high-performance standards met by the technology.<\/p>\n<p>The NP<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> glass refinement is based on an ultra-thin layer of silicon dioxide (SiO\u2082), which bonds with the surface at a molecular level.<br \/>\nThe treated surface remains optically unchanged but becomes water- and dirt-repellent \u2013 following the principles of the \u201clotus effect\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key properties of the Nano glass coating:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hydrophobic and oleophobic \u2013 liquids bead off the surface<\/li>\n<li>Crystal clear and breathable \u2013 no optical alteration<\/li>\n<li>UV-resistant and long-lasting \u2013 no yellowing over time<\/li>\n<li>Material-friendly \u2013 protects without forming a sealing film<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Application with a focus on sustainability and efficiency<\/strong><br \/>\nBy opting for nanopool\u2019s nano glass coating, the Gioia 22 Tower implemented a forward-looking solution aimed at significantly reducing the cleaning effort associated with glass fa\u00e7ades.<br \/>\nThe objective of this technology is to minimise the adhesion of dirt, dust, and moisture on glass surfaces, allowing cleaning intervals to be extended and the use of cleaning agents to be reduced.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sustainability begins with the right surface solution<\/strong><br \/>\nThe choice to use a nano glass refinement was guided by the goal of reducing maintenance effort, resource consumption, and environmental impact \u2013 without compromising the aesthetics or function of the fa\u00e7ade.<br \/>\nThanks to the hydrophobic properties of nanopool\u2019s glass coating, glass surfaces can be cleaned more easily and with fewer chemicals \u2013 an approach increasingly recognised as a contribution to more sustainable building operations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: Technological value for contemporary architecture<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Gioia 22 Tower stands as a strong example of how nano glass refinement can become part of a sustainable building strategy.<br \/>\nCombining aesthetics, efficiency, and environmental awareness, nanopool<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u2019s hydrophobic glass coating represents a forward-thinking solution for urban glass fa\u00e7ades.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Gioia 22 Tower in Milan relies on hydrophobic glass  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8855,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[149],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Nano glass coating in action: - Nano coatings &amp;
