Working on high-profile projects like this is always a great honor because it allows us to engage with creations that stand out for their uniqueness and distinctiveness.

In the design and production of glass for the naval sector, there are numerous dynamics we need to address: from the technical-mechanical aspects of the surface to the more “creative” side, which concerns the yacht design to which the glass is destined. Sanlorenzo, a leading company that has been building yachts since 1958 with a “boutique” philosophy of great class and elegance, chose us to design glass for the first model of the new Sanlorenzo SP110 open line, which was born with the desire to offer maximum performance with minimal consumption.

Lightweight Glass and Supreme Quality

Sanlorenzo’s goal was clear from the very beginning: to create a yacht that offered high power while keeping fuel consumption low. We then designed glass for the naval sector where the ingenuity of our R&D department played a key role.

The latest technologies developed in our facilities enabled us to select the right processes and materials to meet the client’s demands, achieving an important milestone in terms of reducing the overall weight of the vessel. Once the work was completed, we realized how essential our contribution was in kickstarting a new generation of yachts: more powerful, more incredible, and undoubtedly more sustainable.

Reducing Consumption Without Compromising Performance

Reducing the consumption of a vessel requires substantial technical knowledge. It is a design process that has different objectives, demanding various skills. The glass we created for the Sanlorenzo SP110 was specifically designed to reduce fuel consumption, increase yacht performance, and make the yacht eco-friendly with a minimal environmental impact.

We succeeded by designing a laminated glass with UV protection that offers exceptional visibility and clarity on board. Additionally, the Sanlorenzo SP110 yacht features our VisionPlus®, innovative glass surfaces that match the color and design of the yacht.

The dimensions were also significant, as was the project as a whole: the requested glass length of 5 meters did not prevent us from lightening it, receiving approval from the naval registers.
