Today Marks the Official Opening of the Burj
Dubai Featuring Guardian Glass
January 4, 2010
Today is scheduled as the official opening of the Burj Dubai in
the United Arab Emirates - the world's tallest building at 800 meters
or 2,650 feet high. The building features more than 2 million square
feet of Guardian Solar Silver 20 and Guardian ClimaGuard NLT low-E.
"We're pleased to have our glass on this prestigious, record-breaking
project," says Guardian Glass Group president Russ Ebeid. "Guardian
was able to meet the exacting specifications of the architect and
builder."
The construction and completion of the tower has garnered much press
around the world.
