As a leading manufacturer of translucent structures, the Spektr company closely monitors emerging market trends and is ready to offer its clients the latest innovations.
The variety of facade glazing and insulation systems—as well as the technologies behind them—is currently expanding. A new solution in the world of glazing is the "stepped" insulating glass unit (or IGU with a "tooth").
Insulated glass units with a “tooth” are also called structural, stepped, with an overhang, or with a shelf — this is a design in which the outer glass is larger than the inner ones. During installation, such an insulated glass unit covers the load bearing posts and transoms, which makes the facade look like a single whole from the outside.
Undoubtedly, this design has a number of clear advantages:
• the effect of a monolithic glass facade.
• maximum light transmission
• energy efficiency
• minimal joints.
• expanded production possibilities
• Sound insulation.
• Durability
The production of structural insulated glass units requires their manufacture using high tech equipment. The “Spektr” company is ready to offer its customers the opportunity to manufacture a “tooth” on one, two, three, or four sides of the insulated glass unit.
