Saint-Gobain Glass and LuxWall, a pioneer in transparent insulation technology, have announced a strategic partnership to bring Insio, the next generation of vacuum glazing, to the European market. Through this collaboration, Saint-Gobain Glass will integrate LuxWall's transparent insulation technology into its groundbreaking Insio solution—an important milestone in the transition to energy-efficient building envelopes.
“We are very excited about the partnership with LuxWall, which brings together two innovative companies to meet the growing demand for energy-efficient buildings and retrofit solutions,” said Nicolas Mondy, Vice President of Saint-Gobain's Glass Performance segment. “Insio will enable us to support our customers in decarbonizing buildings while opening up new possibilities for window design – without compromising user comfort.”
According to the new partners, LuxWall's transparent insulation technology redefines the role of glass in buildings by transforming it from one of the largest sources of energy loss into a powerful energy-saving solution. Integration into Saint-Gobain Glass' Insio solution is a decisive step toward improved building performance with measurable savings in energy costs and capital expenditure, according to the glass manufacturer.
Energy loss through windows and glass facades accounts for around 40% of a building's heating and cooling requirements*. By combining Saint-Gobain Glass's global expertise and reach with LuxWall's transparent insulation innovation, the Insio solution helps builders, architects, and developers dramatically reduce energy loss without compromising on design or daylight.
“Our mission at LuxWall has always been to reduce the energy consumption and CO₂ emissions of buildings—at a price that allows universal access for all,” said Scott Thomsen, CEO and founder of LuxWall. “The partnership with Saint-Gobain Glass enables us to implement this mission worldwide. Together, we are transforming the building envelope from an energy burden into a central building block for a sustainable future.”
