Super Spacer® warm edge technology from Quanex company Edgetech, has played a key role in two of Danish architect Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG)’s most ambitious recent projects.
At BIG’s new headquarters in the redeveloped port district of Nordhavn, Copenhagen, Super Spacer® T-Spacer™ Premium Plus has been used in over 500 floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed units.
The insulating glass façade of the 27-metre-high tower, a centrepiece of the city’s push towards carbon neutrality, was manufactured by Eiler Thomsen Alufacader and Glaseksperten A/S, and achieves a Uw value of just 0.8 W/(m²K).
“Super Spacer’s flexibility and precise fit are ideal for the kind of high-specification glazing demanded by today’s leading architects,” commented Mike Moran, Edgetech’s Vice President of Sales (Europe & UK).
“It helps deliver outstanding performance, contributing to the energy efficiency and durability of the end product by improving thermal performance and minimising condensation, while simplifying production and installation – exactly what modern, sustainable construction needs.”
Meanwhile, at Luxembourg’s Findel Airport, the new Skypark Business Centre South, also designed by BIG, features more than 160 curved triple-glazed units supplied by Finiglas, using Edgetech’s 16mm Super Spacer® TriSeal™ Flex black.
With a high-performance timber hybrid structure, the building is one of the largest of its kind in Europe. Its glass façade delivers a Ug value below 0.5 W/(m²K), meeting the strictest energy standards while navigating the technical challenges of large-format, triple-curved glazing.
“BIG’s vision demonstrates that bold architecture and energy efficiency can go hand-in-hand,” added Mike. “We’re proud to support world-leading projects like these with solutions that perform just as well as they look. Super Spacer® really is a key component in the buildings of the future.”
