The Wicona project study TEmotion NG with ‘Water-filled Glass’ is designed to ensure outstanding energy efficiency and an optimised carbon footprint. Together with Water-Filled Glass Ltd, Wicona has developed TEmotion NG, a revolutionary facade solution that was recently presented as a study.
Glaston, the inventor of the Thermo Plastic Spacer (TPS), has developed a new processing method that allows the use of thin glass in insulating glass units. The process is also suitable for triple insulating glass.
With the "Energy" variant, Velux will be offering another triple glazing option in its glass range from April 2024. According to the manufacturer, this provides a low-cost entry into high energy efficiency with very good thermal insulation values. With a UW value of 1.0 W/(m²K), it also fulfils the requirements for state subsidies. Here are the details.
Swisspacer Air - integrated into the edge seal of insulating glass - ensures continuous pressure equalisation with the environment and thus mitigates climate loads. In collaboration between Swisspacer and the Saint-Gobain Glassolutions Insulating Glass Centre, the foundation has now been laid to allow it to obtain a CE mark.
Tianjin North Glass is a glass processing company headquartered in Tianjin, China. The company supplies XXL glass with lengths of up to 18 metres as well as producing tempered, curved, laminated, insulating and digitally printed glass for Asia, Europe and North America.
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.
Alongside curved multi-pane insulating glass, large-format units are the supreme discipline in insulating glass production. Christoph Rubel, Technical Manager at Edgetech Europe examines below the use of flexible, foam-based spacers in relation to the quality of large-format insulating glass units.
Sustainable facades and architectural projects from all over the world were the focus of the "International Next Facade Summit" at Wicona + Partners' Next Studio in Frankfurt on 15 November 2022. Leading experts showed what matters today in the planning and implementation of complex buildings and facades in global markets. Here are the details.
