• 24 months — Maximum internal protection period
• Class 1 — BS 476 Part 7 fire classification

Project Overview

CapitaSpring is a landmark high-rise development in Singapore, designed with an extensive glazed façade that contributes to its distinctive architectural identity. During construction, protecting this curtain wall glazing was critical to maintaining the appearance of the finished building while supporting programme efficiency on a complex, high-value project.

The Challenge

Large-scale façade installations are highly exposed to scratches, abrasion, site contamination and general construction traffic throughout the build programme. For a project such as CapitaSpring, any damage to finished glazing could have led to costly repairs, panel replacements and delays. The protection system also needed to preserve the visual quality of the façade, remain effective over an extended construction period and remove cleanly without leaving residue behind.

The Solution

Spraylat supplied Protectapeel GlassDefend a spray-on glass protection coating for the project’s curtain wall glazing. Applied across 40,000m² of glass, GlassDefend created a durable internal protective barrier that helped shield the façade from scratches and damage during construction. Its easy application supported site productivity, while its long-duration performance made it well suited to projects with extended programme timelines. At completion, the coating can be peeled away residue-free, helping reveal the intended finish without additional cleaning or remedial work.
