Thin Structure
Starting at just 8.3 mm thick and weighing only 20 kg/m², this glazing reduces costs for components, storage, and logistics. It is a quarter of the thickness and at least 12 kg lighter per square meter than triple glazing, while offering a superior U-value.
Super Long Life
Boasting a service life of over 25 years, this glazing features flexible edge sealing to prevent seal failure due to temperature fluctuations. The built-in high-efficiency getter material helps maintain a high vacuum level over time.
Stable Performance
There is no thermal expansion or contraction in the high vacuum chamber, making this glazing suitable for any geographical location or elevation. Regardless of whether it is mounted horizontally or at an angle, the U-value remains consistent, ensuring excellent energy efficiency.
