Dual-pane glass manufactured by Viracon has been chosen for use throughout the building. Viracon produces high-performance windows designed to reduce solar heat gain. The Viracon window also provides one of the most distinct features of BMO Tower: The blue-hue glass. This unique architectural feature provides soothing tones in the interior, while allowing two-way vision through the glass under varying light conditions.
Great thought has been given to the simplest concerns at BMO Tower. Take, for example, glass. It is important to enjoy a natural view, yet also important to use energy responsibly.
