IMPROVED viewing of chimpanzees at an ape and monkey sanctuary in Wales is provided by security glass supplied by ROMAG.
Two panels of 39mm thick low iron laminated glass were installed to provide the viewing windows for the newly built 100 sqm chimp house at Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary in the Brecon Beacons.
Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary, a registered charity, is home to dozens of chimps, gibbons, monkeys, baboons, lemurs, mandrills and other animals rescued from zoos, wildlife parks and private owners, as well as monkeys from labs in the UK and outside Europe.
Sara Brittain, national sales manager at Romag, said: “The sanctuary required a tough, cost effective commercial glass solution for its new extension. Our glass has been designed to provide this and will contribute significantly to a much better up-close and personal viewing experience for the many visitors.”
Low iron float glass is strengthened and toughened using advanced thermal treatment processes, which creates a tough surface with optical properties that allow light transmission of up to 97%. This compares to normal architectural float glass that typically has a light transmission of 90%.
