One World Trade Center tower will feature 2,000 pieces of ultra-clear glass


January 9, 2011

The podium wall system on Tower One of the One World Trade Center in New York City will feature more than 2,000 pieces of Starphire ultra-clear glass. Chosen for its high clarity levels up to one inch thick, the glass uses a low-iron formulation that makes it as transparent as possible. PPG Industries will supply glass in 10-mm, 12-mm and 25-mm thicknesses for the 185-foot-tall podium base wall.
