Al Ahly Bank building in Egypt with HD Plus Blue solar-control glass facade by BlueCrest
Project Case Study

Ahli Bank — HD Plus Blue Glass Facade

BlueCrest engineered, supplied and installed the glazed facade for the Ahli Bank project in Egypt using HD Plus Blue 6 mm solar-control glass on 6 mm clear float — a high-performance blue envelope that cuts heat and glare.

Overview

A solar-control blue facade for a modern bank

For the Ahli Bank project, BlueCrest delivered the building's glazed facade as a complete supply-and-install scope — engineering the glass make-up, fabricating to size and installing on site. The specified glass was HD Plus Blue 6 mm solar-control glazing on 6 mm clear float, chosen for its balance of heat rejection, glare control and a crisp blue architectural finish that suits a modern bank branch.

The result is a clean, reflective blue envelope that keeps interiors cooler and more comfortable, reduces solar load on the cooling system, and gives the branch a distinctive, contemporary street presence.

The Glass

HD Plus Blue 6 mm on 6 mm Float

Why this glass make-up was specified for the Ahli Bank facade.

HD Plus Blue 6 mm

A high-performance blue solar-control glass that reflects a large share of solar heat and glare while keeping a bright, natural view out.

6 mm Clear Float

Quality clear float glass as the paired lite, giving the assembly its strength and optical clarity.

Solar Control

Cuts heat gain and glare, lowering cooling load and improving interior comfort for staff and customers.

Modern Blue Aesthetic

A uniform reflective blue finish that reads as a clean, premium facade from the street.

Daytime Privacy

The reflective outer face gives added daytime privacy to the banking hall.

Engineered & Installed

Fabricated to size and installed by BlueCrest as a single accountable facade scope.
