Key Features and Functionalities

1. Interactive House Integration
The Interactive House feature allows users to explore different glass solutions in a virtual environment. This tool helps users visualise the application of various glass products in residential settings, providing an immersive and educational experience.

2. Document Library
We created a comprehensive document library that offers easy access to product brochures, technical specifications, and installation guides. This centralised resource is invaluable for architects, contractors, and consumers seeking detailed information about Saint-Gobain Glass products.

3. Acoustic Calculator
The Acoustic Calculator is a specialised tool designed to help users determine the best glass solutions for noise reduction. This feature is particularly useful for architects and builders who need to meet specific acoustic performance criteria in their projects.

4. Store Finder
To assist users in locating the nearest distributors and retail outlets, we integrated a Store Finder tool. This feature provides detailed information on store locations, contact details, and available products, enhancing the user’s shopping experience.

Challenges and Solutions

User Interface Design
One of the key challenges was developing an intuitive user interface that caters to both consumers and architects. We focused on creating a clean, easy-to-navigate design that provides quick access to essential tools and information. By incorporating feedback from user testing, we ensured the interface meets the diverse needs of all user groups.

Split Branding
Maintaining brand consistency across different regions and product lines was another challenge. We implemented a design system that allows for flexibility while adhering to Saint-Gobain Glass’s global brand guidelines. This approach ensures a cohesive look and feel across all digital touchpoints.
