Project Overview

The Singapore State Courts Towers is a landmark public building and the tallest government building in Singapore. Designed as a modern, high-profile courthouse complex with a refined architectural finish, the development required reliable temporary protection for extensive glazed surfaces throughout construction. To support a clean handover and preserve the quality of the façade, Parmis used Protectapeel GlassDefend across the project’s glazing package.

The Challenge

On a project of this scale and visibility, exposed glazing faced an extended risk of scratches, surface marking, and general construction damage during installation and fit-out. The building’s contemporary appearance demanded that glass surfaces remain clear and undamaged through to completion, while the protection system also needed to perform consistently over a long programme and be removed cleanly without leaving residue or creating additional remedial work.

The Solution

Protectapeel GlassDefend was selected as a practical, high-performance temporary coating for the project’s internal glazing protection requirements. Applied across 30,000m² of glass, the peelable coating created a durable barrier against scratches, dirt and site damage during the construction phase. Its long-life performance supported the project over an 18-month period, and at the end of the programme the coating was removed easily, delivering a residue-free finish that helped maintain the building’s sleek façade aesthetic at handover.
