The facade of a building should reflect the architect s good taste and desire for beauty, while it resists the build- ing's natural enemies, rain, wind and sun. The choice of a material that will serve this dual purpose is vital to the success of the architect's efforts.

SIGLA Spandrels combine, in a nearly perfect way, the features demanded by such a bulding element. Glass had been proven as a corrosionproof material since ancient times. Now, modern SIGLA safety glass provides the addi- tional factors of safety, exceptional strength, resistance to lyes, acids (except fluoric acid) and industrial exhaust fumes. Upkeep is minimal. The smooth, fire-polished sur- face is dirt- and dust-resistant, so that the spandrels are kept clean, to a great extent, by rain. Many creative poSSI- bilities are offered by the colorful tints Since they are non-fading and weatherproof. atmospheric conditions cannot harm the color or cause peeling
