For the new college building in downtown Berkeley, California, an architect's wish became reality: the fully automated and therefore economical production of a completely grey insulating glass edge seal. A light grey Super Spacer bar is also part of the elegant facade solution.
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.
Swisspacer's warm edge spacers have been among the best on the international market for 25 years. To mark its anniversary, the Swiss company is presenting a new image and a new logo.
Berlin's Alexanderplatz is also home to the "Haus des Berliner Verlages" - today's "Pressehaus am Alexanderplatz". It will be extensively renovated in 2021 and expanded with a new glass building. Solar control glass from AGC Interpane with Super Spacer spacers is installed there.
During tours, motorhomes and expedition vehicles are sometimes exposed to extreme weather conditions, differences in altitude and temperature. This places very high demands on the insulating glass installed. One manufacturer is now using Swisspacer Air in its IG units to cope with the climatic loads.
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.
The experts from H.B. Fuller | Kömmerling have also been presenting their products and solutions for insulating glass production at glasstec. A special focus at the stand of the adhesive and sealant manufacturer was on green architecture and "smart" glass.
There is a clear trend in modern glass architecture towards large facades without visible support structures. At the last glasstec, Edgetech Europe had presented projects in New York and Sweden where flexible Super Spacer spacers had been used to great effect:
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:
Forel’s High Tech IG line is the result of over 45 years of know-how in insulating glass processing machinery. In this latest video, you will see a High Tech line processing standard, shaped, stepped and triple glazed units using a T-shaped flexible spacer.
