This side-by-side comparison shows the difference between Starphire spandrels and ordinary glass. The Starphire spandrel clearly lets the white coating OPACI-COAT-300 color come through undistorted compared to the "greening" of the ordinary clear glass spandrel.
Peachtree Dunwoody Medical Center
Atlanta Georgia
Owner: North American Property Corporation
Architect: Joseph Perry Associates, Inc.
Bright white OPACI-COAT-300 spandrels contrast dark green reflective vision glass in this high technology medical facility. Evaluated against porcelain and aluminum composites, architect Joseph Perry chose white opacified Starphire because "its clarity produced the whitest panel with no evidence of tinting... Starphire was the most striking and fitting."
