Guardian Glass introduces Guardian CrystalClear glass, a new addition to its product lineup in North America. This innovative glass meets the demand for enhanced transparency among architects and designers.
The spectacular installation of a mega window for a luxury hotel in Rovinj in Croatia was carried out with the help of a Heavydrive suction system. With its dimensions of 15 metres in length, 3.2 metres in height and weighing 5.2 tonnes, the glass pane posed an enormous challenge for the fitters.
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.
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.
With the innovative sedak printing grid, a proportion of less than two per cent of the glass surface is already sufficient to largely exclude bird impact, according to sedak. This ensures maximum transparency and optimum bird protection for almost any glass, up to a size of 3.60 × 20 m. The high effectiveness is confirmed by the "Collision Laboratories" institute in Austria.
Individual glass constructions are more in demand than ever in architecture today. This also applies to existing buildings in New York. In the case of the office tower at 299 Park Avenue, the lobby was transformed into a transparent and inviting space, with glass in large formats from Glas Trösch.
The specialist for oversized glass has set itself the goal for 2023 to gradually transition to more environmentally friendly production. And that not only since the energy prices been going through the roof.
The Super Spacer T-Spacer SG was developed for structural glazing and XXL glass panes. The typical T-shape of the warm edge spacer has been adapted to the requirements of automated insulating glass lines for large formats.
NorthGlass has broken its own records by creating a 23-metre laminated glass pane. The PMU (performance test unit) consists of 12 millimetre ultra-clear tempered glass with 6-layer Sentryglas laminations.
The market for LSG and laminated glass is on the rise: AGC Glass Europe is investing in the construction of a new LSG production facility in Osterweddingen, just south of Magdeburg, Germany. The investment is over 10 million euros. Here are the details.
XXL safety glass explained, curved bullet-proof triple glazing, warm edge spacers in an aluminium facade and FESTERBAU FRONTALE now to be held in July. These are our top stories of the week:
The use of XXL glazing is increasing significantly, especially in commercial and facade construction. High-security glass is also increasingly in demand. In our interview, glass and safety specialist Sebastian Dengg explains the potential obstacles:
