Good Health and Well-Being

Transparent architecture and the use of glass as a building material is a surety for health, safety and well-being of humans in their working environments.

NSG Group’s range of glass products facilitates innovative, open space design trends by providing brilliant solutions for brighter buildings for example fire-resistant glazing with up to 180 minutes resistance to fire for fully glazed applications.
