When Auckland Zoo commissioned the refurbishment of their Pride Lands exhibit, the brief was simple – the best possible viewing experience without compromising guest or animal safety. Our commercial bent glass – TemperShield® – was skillfully installed into natural rock to provide the perfect solution giving visitors an experience of being almost in the Pride Lands themselves. Walking around a convex curved enclosure in one instance and to be enveloped in a concave one the next adds a sense of inclusiveness that flat panels simply cannot deliver; and at 19mm (3/4″)thick, security is never compromised.

“Glasshape provided us with a bent glass experience that was professional and on-time, delivering quality glass panels to our specifications and sizing, with minimal, if any remakes, considering the number of panels involved. Their packaging of glass for transportation to site was particularly good, and we would have no issue using them on future iconic projects.”
