Design elements: Logotype corporate - building scheme
The GLASSOLUTIONS® corporate logotype refers to
the corporate company, including GLASSOLUTIONS®
headquarters, supra regional decision centers and
support services to all affiliates companies. It is made
up of 3 elements:
- the graphic symbol including 3 outline rectangles
and one central solid rectangle. If the basic shape
evokes glass as a raw material, the variety in color
and outline stresses the specificity of all proposed
solutions
- the name of the company
- the Saint-Gobain endorsement, common to all
Saint-Gobain subsidiaries, stresses out the strength
of our leading group.
The colours and specific design of the logotype are
invariable and should never be modified: see page 2I for
specific colour references.
The relative proportions of the various elements are
based on the height of the Saint-Gobain N letter, as
illustrated here.

Glassolutions, always committed
Protecting the environment means knowing and improving
our ecological footprint on a daily basis:
– reducing our consumption of energy, water, raw materials,
CO2 emissions at production stage,
– increasing the energy savings benefits of our glazing
during use,
– working on recycling our products at the end of their life…
Life Cycle Assessment:
a tool underpinning this commitment
Glassolutions is the first glass processor to have put its
glass products through Life Cycle Assessments.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a means to evaluate the
ecological footprint:
– at every stage in the product’s life;
– by studying all environmental impacts generated
(CO² emissions, energy and water consumption, air
pollution, waste generation…)

ife Cycle Assessment, the most rigorous
L
and comprehensive tool
1
An approach based on international standards (ISO), known
and acknowledged by all;
2
Rigorous and scientific calculations verified by an
independent third party;
3
The most comprehensive level of environmental
assessment covering all stages in the glass life cycle and all
environmental impacts.
The Life Cycle Assessment makes it possible to improve
our environmental footprint, and then to eco-innovate, i.e.
create new glazing products, even more planet-friendly,
from design stage to disposal.
A significant result:
glass gives more energy than it takes

* Calculations are made for a house (100m² with 15m² of CLIMAPLUS 4-16-4
mm), in primary energy, in France for the 30 years of lifetime of the glazing.
The results could be different for other countries.
