Insulating glass

Due to the increasing density of built-up areas and a high volume of air traffic, the noise pollution that residents have to contend with is growing in many places. In Germany, the Aviation Noise Act therefore regulates sound insulation in buildings. The latest generation of SANCO Phon insulating glass offers appropriate solutions for the various noise protection zones surrounding airports and noticeably improves the quality of living spaces. In addition to providing very good thermal insulation, the glass reduces noise pollution by 42 decibels.

IG technology

Vitro Architectural Glass and GED Integrated Solutions launched Intercept LiteLock, a new extruder tip and sealant bead application system that provides licensees of Intercept insulating glass technology with quality improvements. The product facilitates 30 to 50 percent faster processing speeds on GED’s Intercept oven and roll press, while creating a wider manufacturing process window. This results in a more consistent, uniform and secure seal between the Intercept spacer and the glass lite.
