In commercial architecture, function and beauty come together. Seves Nubio glass block is a popular choice.

Preferred by architects, designers, and builders. People recognize Nubio for its classic wavy pattern, strength, and flexibility. It has become the top-selling glass block for commercial projects.

Its ability to combine beauty, energy efficiency, and fire safety makes it a great choice for modern construction. This is thanks to special products like the Energy block and Fire-Rated block. Here’s why Nubio is the go-to choice for commercial applications.

Stylish Design Meets Practical Function

People recognize the Seves Nubio glass block for its unique wavy pattern. This design balances light transmission and privacy well. Its gentle, wavy design lets in a lot of natural light. It also offers some privacy.

This makes it perfect for places like offices, stores, and public buildings. Nubio is suitable for exterior walls, interior partitions, or staircases.. It adds a sleek, modern look that improves any project.

Nubio looks great, but it’s also about making spaces that are welcoming and useful. In places like restaurants or office lobbies, Nubio’s soft distortion keeps conversations private. It also maintains brightness, making a welcoming space for clients and employees.

Energy Efficiency with Seves Energy Block

Energy efficiency is a critical consideration in commercial construction, and the Seves Nubio Energy block delivers exceptional performance. Nubio Energy blocks have a U-value of 0.19. This means they reduce heat transfer by more than 50% compared to regular glass blocks.

They also provide a thermal resistance R-value of 5.26. This makes them a good option for projects. They need to follow strict energy rules. They can also help achieve sustainable building certifications like LEED.

The Energy block uses advanced technology. It has low-emissivity glass panes and chambers filled with argon gas. This design helps reduce heat loss and improve insulation. For commercial buildings, this translates to lower energy costs and a reduced environmental footprint.

Projects like the Jose Alvalade Stadium in Portugal have used Seves glass blocks. These blocks combine energy efficiency with bright looks. They show that Nubio Energy blocks can change big architectural designs while focusing on sustainability.

Unmatched Safety with Fire-Rated Nubio Blocks

Safety is paramount in commercial construction, and Seves Nubio Fire-Rated blocks provide critical protection without compromising design. These blocks come in 60-minute and 90-minute fire-rated options.

They meet Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards. Engineers test them to handle intense heat, ensuring they follow strict building codes. The Thickset® 60 and Thickset® 90 series have Nubio patterns. They provide thicker faces for better fire resistance, impact resistance, and sound reduction.

Nubio Fire-Rated blocks (8x8x4 inches) have a 60-minute fire rating. They have a U-value of 0.51 and a sound transmission class (STC) of 48. This makes them great for high-risk areas like stairwells, corridors, or outside walls in commercial buildings. Their ability to maintain structural integrity during a fire adds an extra layer of safety, protecting occupants and assets.

The University Centre in Zlín, Czech Republic, shows how Nubio Fire-Rated blocks meet strict fire and sound requirements. They also provide brightness and transparency.
