A further way to reduce weight lies in the use of plastic plates in the inter-pane space in combination with integrated, laminated plastics in the inner and outer pane of the insulation glazing. Graphics: ift Rosenheim


thick glass, is designed to deliver an Ug-value of 0.3 W/m2K. A questionable development, because this format once again brings us back to the starting problem. The quadruple pane is just as heavy as today’s conventional triple glass with standard format.


Thin glass in photovoltaics


In the solar energy sector too pre-stressed thin glass is already being used to reduce the weight of glass-glass modules.

According to the manufacturers, the life cycle of these modules is clearly higher than those modules based on film laminates. In addition, due to the higher mechanical rigidness, we can forego the enclosing aluminium frame. As a result, the thin glass modules are also suitable for the increasingly significant building-integrated installation of photovoltaic elements.
