FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
HIGH-TECH BRINGS
BUILDING FACADES
INTO THE 21ST
CENTURY
Finnish Vitrulux Oy.
unveils new
technology set to to
make
self-illuminated
facades common
place
A new blend of art
and technology used
to light
glass-facade
buildings is
transforming city's
night looks. Over
the last year two
new buildings in
St-Petersburg,
Russia have come to
life -- housing
offices by day, and
dazzling imagination
by night. The
buildings' facades
are a mix of glass
windows and
light-emitting
panels which at
night cover faces of
the buildings with
vivid images and
rich textures.
Thanks to recent
advances in
technology and
design,
self-illuminating
facade systems have
finally become
practical both in
terms of longevity
and environmental
friendliness. This
new patented
technology delivers
a lighting solution
compatible with
modern construction
technologies and
minimal construction
overhead. Vitrulux
Oy., the Finnish
company responsible
for the two
installations in
St-Petersburg, has
recently launched a
website
(www.vitrulux.com)
which showcases
these projects and
provides technical
background
information.
Vitrulux Oy
specializes in
design and
installation of
complex and
high-tech façade
lighting systems for
buildings and other
urban structures.
Our company builds
on serious
innovative
decisions.
