Growing demands for energy efficiency, weight reduction, and sustainability in the construction sector are driving the use of thin glass in the architecture sector.
In insulating glass units, 0,5mm ultra-thin glass can serve as an inner layer in triple-glazed structures, achieving significant weight savings and improved energy efficiency. The production process involves advanced technologies for precise handling and assembling of the ultra-thin glass layers using the TPS® technology. This ensures stability, stress reduction, and a reliable seal for long-lasting performance.
