• Glass solutions that combine great strength and many optional extras with an average weight, some 25 to 46% lower than that of standard glass types;
• Innovative mineral wool insulation materials that are 40 to 50% lighter than traditional stone wool insulating materials, while possessing the same fire-resistant, thermal and acoustic qualities;
• Ceramic tiles for walls and floors that are half as thick as normal tiles, yet just as strong. At a mere 4,8 mm, our tiles reduce the weight per m2 by as much as 15 kg compared to normal tiles;
• Solutions for wall and ceiling systems and interior finishing, based on specialist non-combustible gypsum boards, with outstanding fire resisting qualities;
• Light-weight flooring systems that are easy to apply, while offering high levels of noise reduction. In combination with our special light weight mineral wool insulation; 
• Military applications that can combine multiple functions in glass such as bullet resistance, explosion resistant, radar blocking and more, while still keeping a low weight.

  

• Coated glasses capable of keeping out 72% of the sun’s rays, thus allowing for far less intensive use of your air-conditioning system. This solution also saves space, as it allows for smaller air shafts. It also saves energy – a significant quality, considering the fact that air-conditioning accounts for an average of 30% of your on-board energy consumption;
• Cabin ventilation offering a state-of-the-art energy efficiency technology, which operates throughout the ventilation system providing up to 35% of energy saving potential in cabin HVAC. While still offering comfortable and safe environments for marine, navy and oil & gas applications;
• Galley ventilation that has a high-efficiency with superb grease filtration technology;
• High-performance mineral wool and technical fabrics for thermal insulation;
• Glass solutions that increase day light inside and decreases the need for artificial lighting.

• Innovative solutions for climate control, balancing the right amount of ventilation with a minimum of draught, energy loss and noise;
• Wall and floor tiles with antipollution, antibacterial and self-cleaning qualities;
• Soundproof floors, walls and wall coverings that reduce the noise between two rooms;
• Wall coverings which improve interior air quality by reducing the level of formaldehyde in the room;
• Electrically heated glazing; such as radiators that can heat wet cells and public spaces;
• Gypsum boards that offer new architectural possibilities (which can be curved down to a radius of 600 mm) and our glass solutions with a multitude of combinations; 
• Privacy glass for separating interior spaces. And also: coloured glass to set the tone or enhance the character and mood of a room; 
• Sound protection combined with excellent thermal insulation performances – provided by our high performing mineral wool.

• Safety glass with the exact qualities you’re looking for: fire resistant, sunproof, bulletproof, electrically heated or a combination of these. A privacy function is also an option: just press a button and the glass turns milky white and translucent to outside eyes; 
• Solutions for wall and ceiling systems and interior finishing, based on specialist non-combustible gypsum boards, with outstanding fire resisting qualities; 
• Floors, fabrics, insulation materials, wall and ceiling systems with fire resistant or fire-insulating qualities; 
• Fire dampers with expansive fire seals that prevent the fire progression within a ventilation ductwork;
• Special fire resistant glass for wheelhouse application, guaranteeing an exceptionally clear view, even under extreme differences in interior and exterior temperatures, while preventing misting, icing or snow on the surface.

More Safety, Less Weight by innovation
The innovative feature of STADIP MARINE is that it offers significant added safety compared to traditional tempered glass. Up to 46% thinner glass combinations despite offering higher strength values than required by ISO614 in that glass thickness. (so depending on where in the hull the window is located and how much water pressure is expected). Weight savings in the glass combinations up to 47%. Added safety due to increased glass strength, reduction of structural failure due to lamination, lower weight and reduced thickness of the overall package.

The annual 2-day springtime onboard conference for up to 400 ferry shipping executives. Seminars by renowned industry speakers cover relevant, current issues followed by interactive debate.
During the conference Saint-Gobain will be exhibiting and the second day has the honors to act as speaker in the topic `Solutions for the industry´

Saint-Gobain will present its view on “Construction Efficiency”, innovative solutions that lead to substantial weight saving and results in lower energy consumption and increased construction efficiency. Focusing on the solutions Saint-Gobain can give insights in to the thinking process that lead to light weight solutions and what the return on investment is for the ship-owners.

Construction Efficiency is being involved in the building process and that product synergies will lower the weight and energy consumption, for example the use of lightweight insulation, special coated glass and special flooring systems. Meet us at the Ferry Shipping Conference, Find out more here.

At the dedicated Weber Training Centre in Lillestrøm, Norway a successful 4 day training was given. The staff of Sako Corporation were updated on the recent solutions and possibilities with Weber Marine & Offshore flooring solutions. The Weber experts from Norway trained the staff in application, material handling, sound insulation and commercial understanding.

Established in 1988 in South Korea by John YC Byun, located in Busan, Sako Corporation will play a key role to promote Weber Marine & Offshore in coming years. Sako Corporation is AWMFC (Accredited Weber Marine Floor Contractor) in the Korean market. Find out more about flooring solutions by Saint-Gobain Weber here.
