The Bishop’s Basilica of Philippopolis, located in Bulgaria, is a building of great historical and cultural significance in the region. After long-term use, some of its architectural components have been damaged and require restoration and maintenance, with U profile glass being applied in the process.

With a length of approximately 83 meters and a width of around 36 meters, the Bishop’s Basilica of Philippopolis was one of the largest basilicas in Bulgaria from the 4th to the 6th century. This unique basilica opened a visitor center in April 2021, displaying over 2,000 square meters of Roman mosaics dating back to the 4th–5th centuries AD. The restoration project of the basilica began in 2014.

Advantages of U profile glass

• Excellent Light Transmittance: U profile glass has high light transmittance, allowing abundant natural light to enter the interior of the basilica. This creates a bright and sacred spatial atmosphere, which meets the basilica’s lighting needs.
• Unique Aesthetic Effect: U profile glass features a distinctive shape and texture. Once installed, it adds a modern yet solemn beauty to the basilica, complementing its architectural style. During the restoration, it preserves the basilica’s historical charm while infusing it with new vitality.
• Thermal Insulation Performance: U profile glass has certain thermal insulation properties, which can effectively reduce heat loss inside the basilica, lower energy consumption, and improve comfort for its use. At the same time, it helps protect the cultural relics and decorations inside the basilica.
• Durability and Sturdiness: U profile glass has high strength, with good impact resistance and durability. It can withstand certain natural disasters and man-made damages, extend the service life of the basilica’s architectural components, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
