Edgetech Europe invites architects and designers to discover the highly versatile, metal-free, flexible Super Spacer spacer system at the BAU trade fair in Munich, Germany. From January 13 to 17 2025, here is what you can expect.
Danish architect Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) believes there is no single answer to what sustainable buildings of the future will look like. Two examples are the new concrete BIG headquarters in the port of Copenhagen and the timber Skypark Business Centre at Luxembourg Airport. What seems contradictory, actually shares a high standards of sustainability, resource conservation and energy efficiency, and both feature insulating glazing with Super Spacer spacers. Here are both projects in detail.
Quanex (including Edgetech) secures a leading position in the European market with the acquisition of Tyman (including Giesse, Schlegel). What are the strategic advantages of the merger for the company?
Building products company Quanex has signalled its continued focus on the insulating glass sector with the appointment of an experienced Global Market Director.
There is a clear trend in modern glass architecture towards large facades without visible support structures. At the last glasstec, Edgetech Europe had presented projects in New York and Sweden where flexible Super Spacer spacers had been used to great effect:
The facade design for the MOL Campus in Budapest featured the Super Spacer spacer system from Edgetech/Quanex. The structural glazing facade consists of flat, single-curved as well as convex and concave curved panes.
That is what project developer Omniyat calls "The Opus" tower in downtown Dubai. The building envelope pushes the limits of what is technologically feasible with advanced engineering. Edgetech Super Spacer TriSealTM are a key part of this massive 3D puzzle.
While affordable architecture is one of the most pressing concerns of our time, the issues of sustainability, energy efficiency, land sealing, recycling management, comfort and social integration would seem to run contrary to the economic demands. Lars Gitz Architects and BaseCamp Student pulled off the remarkable feat of combining these complex requirements within a spectacular, multi-award-winning student residence.
Following the launch of the Super Spacer T-Spacer SG spacer system for automated processing, Edgetech/Quanex now presents the manual version for structural glazing elements and XXL formats.
Edgetech/Quanex presents the further development of the warm edge Super Spacer T-Spacer Premium Plus in the form of Super Spacer T-Spacer SG. The product was developed for structural glazing and XXL glass panes in order to optimise the durability properties of the edge seal. See how the typical T-shape of the warm edge spacer has been specially adapted to the requirements of automated insulating glass lines for large formats.
