Stadio Artemio Franchi


For the Stadio Artemio Franchi project, the architects specified Saflex Structural for the glass panels and the DEFENDER DF450 anchoring system by Logli Massimo S.p.A. This combination was used for all balustrades and as a continuous fascia around the base of the field. The products solved the visual problems, but what about safety?

Safety requirements of the Italian norm UNI 7697:2014 prescribe the use of a hard interlayer that can ensure resistance to rupture after collapse. The choice for the glass panels was easy: tempered plates 6-mm thick formed from a triple-layer laminate with Saflex Structural. Saflex is a tough, resilient interlayer produced from plasticized polyvinyl butyral (PVB) for structural glazing and is designed specifically for applications requiring higher uniform load capacity, increased interlayer rigidity and high glass adhesion.
