Material and its Properties
The facade of the car parks of the Abu Dhabi Financial Center is composed of 6,000 square meters of AMIRAN® Anti-Reflective Glass, which is a one or both side anti-reflective coated glass for a clear view inside and out both day and night. Its non-sensitive high-tech coating reduces reflections to less than 1% and allows up to 98% of the light to pass through uninhibited.
