Glass and glazing are not included in the aforementioned seven categories considered by BREEAM, as glass (clear, extra-clear, body tinted, patterned, tempered…) is by nature an inert material that releases no VOCs. Considered as decorative add-ons, post-construction, mirrors and lacquered glass are not considered in the BREEAM specifications either.However, both may play an important role in the building’s design when it comes to providing space and light.Conscious of the stakes, Saint-Gobain Glass has developed SGG MIRALITE REVOLUTION, a new mirror with a very low VOC content (≤ 10 µg/m3 of air).Following the new French regulation on VOC & construction products (introduced April 19, 2011), both SGG MIRALITE® REVOLUTION mirror and SGG PLANILAQUE EVOLUTION lacquered glass rank highest, scoring an A+.Measurement after 28 days (following ISO 16 000 by Eurofins)Total VOCFormaldehydeSGG MIRALITE® REVOLUTION≤ 10 µg/m3< 10 µg/m3< 10 µg/m3≤ 10 µg/m3SGG PLANILAQUE® EVOLUTION< 10 µg/m3
