Millions of fans around the world have already watched the intense battles that unfolded on the football arenas in Russia during the World Cup. Guardian Glass also followed the game, as several stadiums, attracting the attention of millions of eyes, are made with glass produced at the Guardian Glass factories in Ryazan and Rostov.
Volgograd Arena Stadium, designed for 45,000 places, was built in 2017 on the banks of the Volga River, not far from Mamayev Kurgan. It is a modern sports facility with a canopy and a natural pitch with a heating system.
The stadium is round. Its facade is made in the form of a cone, expanding upward, and is decorated with a multitude of intersecting elements, which, according to the designers, evoke associations with the festive fireworks in honor of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. It is not without reason that Volgograd is one of the most famous cities bearing the name of the Hero City. For the glazing of the facade and cable-stayed roof of the Volgograd Arena stadium, Guardian SunGuard® HP Neutral 60/40 architectural glass was used, with a total area of more than 11,000 square meters. Multifunctional glass in a neutral shade helps maintain a comfortable atmosphere inside the stadium.
Stadium "Saint Petersburg" is called the “long-term construction” of Russian football - its construction took more than 10 years. At the same time, now it is perhaps the most modern and innovative stadium in Russia.
The arena, located on Krestovsky Island in St. Petersburg, is equipped with a retractable roof and a roll-out field. These "options" allow you to hold matches here in any weather and organize any public events without fear for the football pitch. By the way, the object is capable of accommodating up to 69 thousand spectators. The design of the stadium, which looks like a huge spaceship, was developed by the famous Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. The masts rise above the roof, which allow to harmoniously fit the “object from the future” into the Petersburg landscapes and convey the spirit of the city on the Neva.
For glazing, glass with multifunctional spraying Guardian SunGuard® HP Titan 70/54, with an area of 25,000 square meters, was used here, which allows fans not to be afraid of the changeable St. Petersburg weather and piercing sea winds, since it maintains an optimal microclimate at any time of the year.
Fisht stadium in Sochi is located in the Imeretinskaya lowland of the Adler district of the city of Sochi, on the territory of the Olympic Park. The facility was built for the 2014 Winter Olympics, and after its completion, it was reconstructed (in order to fully meet the FIFA requirements for international football tournaments). The maximum capacity after reconstruction is 43,700 beds.
The Sochi stadium received its name in honor of the mountain peak of the Main Caucasian ridge, the name of which, in turn, is translated from the Adyghe language as "white head". By its appearance, the object in Sochi really resembles a mountain, the top of which is dormant under a snow cap.
The grandstands offer a magnificent view of the mountains and the sea. For the glazing of this sports facility, Guardian SunGuard® Solar Light Blue 52 was used, an architectural glass with a sky blue tint and excellent sun protection characteristics.
Guardian SunGuard architectural glass is used not only in the construction of sports facilities that now welcome fans from all over the world. Meeting the highest international standards, it was used in the construction and reconstruction of key airports and hotels in the country, the very ones that now, during the days of the championship, host athletes and fans from dozens of countries around the world. In particular, Guardian glasses are available in Moscow airports Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo, in St. Petersburg Pulkovo, in the VIP terminal of the Rostov airport, in the airports of Kazan, Volgograd, etc.
