A Belgian family wanted to renovate their Art Nouveau villa from the early 20th century in an energy-efficient and stylish way. One of the focal points was to replace the monoglasses of the 30 or so antique wooden mullion windows with 86 new Fineo vacuum-insulating glass units. Here are the details.
The German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt) recently granted general type approval (aBG) for Fineo vacuum insulating glass (VIG). Here are the details.
Val Voznyi is an expert in glass and fabrication technologies. In this exclusive interview with GW-News he looks back at his personal takeaways from last year’s two major trade fairs: GlassBuild in the US and glasstec in Germany.
Fineo by AGC is the first and only European manufacturer to receive the world's first voluntary CE marking for its vacuum insulation glass, making it much easier for planners, architects and building owners to use.
In the run-up to glasstec, vacuum glass manufacturer Fineo, a subsidiary of AGC, is announcing that new, larger formats of vacuum insulating glass will be available from 2025. Here you can find out which sizes will then be possible.
The Velux Group and Guardian Glass have entered a joint development agreement concerning tempered vacuum insulated glass (VIG).
With its high-quality solar control coating, the new Fineo Solar Control vacuum glass ensures that even rooms behind larger or south-facing windows and façades can maintain a pleasant indoor climate all year round.
For existing buildings, upgrading existing windows with vacuum insulating glass is an efficient and, above all, clean alternative to replacing the windows. In addition, it is also a financially attractive option, because BAFA subsidies can be applied for when new vacuum glass is installed. Here are the details.
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.
Positive news from the German window market, VIG out-performs triple IGUs, vacuum lifting without ugly marks and a new vertical edge processing machine. Here are our top stories of the week:
With "Fineo Hybrid" there is now an insulating glass in a 2-pane construction with one pane of it made of vacuum glass. The IG unit surpasses even triple glazing in thermal insulation and sound insulation and can be glazed into well-preserved window frames within a few minutes. The glass replacement is also subsidised by BAFA with up to 15,000 euros. Here are the details.
LandGlass and VIG Technologies are joining forces with Vitro Architectural Glass on the manufacture, marketing and supply of LandVac tVIG, a tempered Vacuum IGU in North America.
