The following glass types can be used for the production
of curved double glazed units:
• Solar control glass with hard coatings, e.g. ANTELIO,
COOL-LITE® ST, STOPSOL, Sunergy, Silverstar
Sunstop T or with combined solar and thermal control
coatings e.g. COOL-LITE®SKN*, SunGuard® HS,
SunGuard® HP, SunGuard® Solar
• Heat protection glass
Planitherm Ultra N II (soft coating),
K-Glass (hard coating)
• Acoustic protection glass compositions with "Stadip
Silence" (sound insulation interlayer) are also available
• Safety termal insulating glass in connection with
heat protection, acoustic protection, sun protection
and special laminated safety glass combinations with
different resistance class according to DIN EN 356
*Notice: The values listed under Technical Data are only for guidance. The geometrical parameters of a curved glass pane, the min./max.
values of the parameters as well as the requested glass assembly are closely linked and influence the corresponding limiting values of each
other. Limits of size, dimensions, possible glass thickness and bending angles are determined according to individual arrangement and
thorough technical examination. Restrictions in the form of shape must be expected.
Dimensional
tolerances
For all curved glass products manufactured in our company, the general tolerance and conditions in accordance to "Guideline
for thermal bend architectural glass products ", BF-datasheet 009/2011 from Bundesverband Flachglas e.V. and the "Guideline
to Assess the Visible Quality of Glass in Buildings." are valid (unless otherwise agreed in writing).

• Cavity width range: preferably 6–14 mm, max. 20 mm
• Insulating glass gas filling: Argon, Krypton
• Production with Super Spacer® TriSeal
• Warm-edge-technology, thereby excellence features
in thermal isolation
• Glass compositions are depending on geometry
• Special insulating glass for stepped-units with UVresistant edge seal
• The closer radius, smaller dimensions, the higher load
on the edge seal because bending stiffness (less
pumpable)
• Performance data of glass compositions (light transmission, light reflection, energy transmission, energy reflection,
UV-transmission and g-value) can only be mentioned
according to values of comparable planar glass
compositions (calculation with CALUMEN software)
At the moment we are able to achieve a Ug-Value up to 1,0 W/m2 K for double-glazed units in accordance with
DIN EN 673. With an curved triple-glazed unit, even a Ug-value up to 0,5 W/m2 K in accordance with DIN EN 673 is
possible. We produce insulating glass units in accordance with EN 1279. For more information of marking
products please contact us.

Technical
feasibility
For our standard laminated glass as safety glass, we use
clear foil with a thickness of 0.76 mm. Also multiple
layers of Polyvinylbutyral (PVB)-foil and glass are available.
On request, we can also process coloured laminated
safety glass.
• Heat-soak tested fully tempered (toughened)
safety glass
• Fire resistant glass (in cooperation)
• Alarm Securit®
• Thermovit – heatable glass
It's possible to manufacture curved tempered glass,
curved tempered glass with heat-soak test and curved
heat-strengthened glass into laminated safety glass
and insulated glass to meet every safety and security
specification.
