The BAU 2025 had an incredible run for the last few days, and the atmosphere has been electric! Both visitors and exhibitors have been buzzing with excitement. Here are some snapshots from the trade fair.
sedak wants to set a new benchmark for high-security glass: With sedak ballistic glass HMG (Heavy Machine Gun), the glass finisher is presenting a world first: a bullet-proof glass that has been tested against attacks with armour-piercing ammunition (.50 BMG API).
The facade of the new administration building of the A. Müller dairy in Aretsried is as white as milk. The facade owes its clear effect primarily to the 430 sedak gsp facade elements. In combination with offset ribbon windows, an elegant all-glass facade was created for the building, which was realised to the highest efficiency standards.
With sedak tempered+, the glass specialists at sedak have developed a fully tempered and heat-resistant glass that offers the best optical properties without visible anisotropies. The glass thus sets new standards for tempered safety glass. The basis for this is a new, patented tempering technology.
The opaque facade glass sedak gsp intelligently combines glass and insulation and is also an individually adaptable standard solution with which glass facades can be implemented economically and energy-efficiently, with a U-value of up to 0.13 W/(m²K).
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.
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.
A new furnace for XXL curved glass, new headquarters in Brazil, better IG units thanks to strict quality control and the Opening Ceremony of the IYOG. These are our top stories of the week:
sedak is expanding its production capacity in the field of curved glass. With the commissioning of a new 18-metre bending furnace, is underpinning its position in thermal bending of large-format facade glass.
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:
Architects and builders looking for bullet-proof curved glass will now find what they are looking for at sedak. The company is now the first manufacturer to offer them. Here you can find out which two product lines are available.
Once again the glass experts from sedak have provided the glass for a very special all-glass construction: XXL safety glass for the Brancusi Museum in Romania.
At a height of 265.5 metres and 63 storeys, the Messeturm in Frankfurt is the second tallest building in Germany. For its 30th anniversary, Frankfurt's landmark was now to be refurbished according to the architect’s plans and brought up to the latest state of the art.
With its new flagship store in Kaprun, Bründl Sports is creating an architectural highlight. The main attraction is the over 10m long, free-floating skywalk, which offers a breathtaking view of the alpine panorama and the Kitzsteinhorn. Here you will find out how the installation happened so fast.
The tower at 22 Bishopsgate in the heart of London rises 278 metres into the air, but one of the defining design features of the building is just above the heads of passers-by: The glass canopies. Read here why this is glass art at its best and what part sedak plays in it.
An imposing, counter-curved rope facade forms the new entrance to Penn Station in New York. The design for the inclined steel and glass canopy with an area of 277 square metres was created by Skanska and the architectural firms AECOM and SOM. Specialist seele was commissioned with the design, fabrication and installation of this project.
BR7 bullet-proof glass is able to withstand attacks with assault rifles and hardened steel-core ammunition. This is especially interesting for buildings that have to be representative and safe at the same time.
Panes of glass with grooves create a dynamic visual impression that changes according to the viewing angle and the incident light. sedak now realises such fascinating optics by cutting the grooves into float glass.
With its glass edges for all-glass parapets and handrails, sedak combines attractive aesthetics with function. There is not even a narrow metal component to spoil the view. Curved or even bulletproof parapets are also available.
As protection against attacks using weapons sedak offers protection in the bullet-resistance classes BR2 NS to BR7 NS (according to DIN EN 1063), so up to the highest level of protection, with its insulating glass sedak isosecure. Glass panes are available to suit every level of security.
With its new digital printing technology, sedak can now print precious metals onto glass. The interplay between glass, gold and silver creates glass panes with fascinating optical effects – as insulating and safety glass, and even curved. Especially impressive: the printing process allows for extremely fine details and filigree structures. See how that allows the realization of complex design ideas:
The specialist for oversized formats, sedak, expands its production dimension to 3.60 metres in width and sets a new milestone in glass processing. This enables insulating and safety glass panes up to a size of 72 square metres. Here are the details.
Oversized glass is what distinguishes the new “Wagner Design Lab” from the seating manufacturer Wagner in Langenneuf. The showroom, which is supported by slender steel beams, resembles a floating stage. The glasses for this were just provided by sedak.
