The Ikeuchi Gate Building in the Japanese city of Sapporo combines technology and innovation at the highest level. Here you can find out how facade glass from Saint-Gobain Glass and the associated Ultimate insulating glass spacers from Swisspacer contribute to optimising the energy efficiency of the building envelope.
The circular economy is a pressing concern in the flat glass industry, as explored in the upcoming glasstec 2024. Despite a 12% reduction in industry emissions in 2023, the positive trend is partly attributed to decreased production rather than sustainable practices.
Vitro Architectural Glass has launched Sungate ThermL glass, a new low-emissivity (low-e) coating engineered for use on the interior surface of a typical one-inch insulating glass unit that reduces heat transfer and dramatically improves U-values when paired with a Solarban solar control low-e glass by Vitro on the second surface.
The heart of Belfast is home to a number of magnificent Victorian bank buildings. These listed buildings have now been fitted with new glazing using Edgetech's Super Spacer Heritage (warm edge) spacers.

Forserum Safety Glass AB in Sweden has recently installed an Osprey system from Softsolution. The system checks tempered glass products for flatness, distortion and anisotropies.
When transporting IG units to locations of different altitude above sea level, the gas in the space between the glass panes can cause the window unit to bulge. Swisspacer have now come up with a solution for this:
In insulating glazing, the edge seal (more commonly known as the spacer - because it keeps the individual panes of an IG unit apart) consists of aluminium, stainless steel or plastic profiles as well as solid plastic compounds.
In the Korean metropolis of Seoul, the new Parnas Tower is a visual eye-catcher. Find out here how the glass façades with the Ködispace 4SG warm-edge system are an important part of the sustainability concept of the LEED Gold-certified skyscraper.
