In the run-up to glasstec, vacuum glass manufacturer Fineo, a subsidiary of AGC, is announcing that new, larger formats of vacuum insulating glass will be available from 2025. Here you can find out which sizes will then be possible.
If you are looking for the highest insulation values in insulating glass, you will find them in insulating glass units with an integrated vacuum element, such as Fineo Hybrid. It insulates with a Ug-value of less than 0.5 W/(m2K), but are significantly more delicate than triple insulating glass with a thickness of 22 mm or more. But such hybrid glass offers even more advantages, which we present here.
Technically outdated window panes cause high heating costs. Often, old IG units can be exchanged for modern vacuum glass with relatively little effort. An interesting business model for glaziers and window manufacturers. Here you can find out which vacuum glasses make this possible.
With its high-quality solar control coating, the new Fineo Solar Control vacuum glass ensures that even rooms behind larger or south-facing windows and façades can maintain a pleasant indoor climate all year round.
For existing buildings, upgrading existing windows with vacuum insulating glass is an efficient and, above all, clean alternative to replacing the windows. In addition, it is also a financially attractive option, because BAFA subsidies can be applied for when new vacuum glass is installed. Here are the details.
At BAU 2023, AGC Pyrobel focused on very slim fire-resistant glass structures with high light transmission and optimised thermal insulation. This is now possible thanks to the combination of Pyrobel with Fineo vacuum glass. Another topic was fire-resistant glass in XXL formats (Pyrobel-T) as well as delicate glass partitions without disturbing mullions.
Fineo will present new vacuum glasses at BAU (17-22 April 23 in Munich), among others in combination with Pyrobel fire protection glass. The special feature is that very slim fire protection glass structures with high transparency and optimised thermal insulation can be produced with it.
In view of massively rising heating and energy costs and the advancing climate change, many historical buildings need to be modernised in terms of energy efficiency.
The Solar Decathlon, which anticipates the building of tomorrow, will present technical, architectural and social solutions for climate-friendly building and living in the European cities of tomorrow from 10 to 26 June 2022 in Wuppertal. Vacuum insulating glass will play a part here.
With "Fineo Hybrid" there is now an insulating glass in a 2-pane construction with one pane of it made of vacuum glass. The IG unit surpasses even triple glazing in thermal insulation and sound insulation and can be glazed into well-preserved window frames within a few minutes. The glass replacement is also subsidised by BAFA with up to 15,000 euros. Here are the details.
