Davide Cappellino, CEO of AGC Glass Europe and President of AGC Architectural Glass Europe and Americas Company, explains at BAU: ‘Fineo will be of great importance to the construction industry for the restoration and modernisation of windows and facades of the large European building stock, many of which are poorly insulated and cannot easily accommodate thicker insulating glass. At the same time, Fineo will also be a solution for new buildings due to its slim design.’
