New Products Introduced at GlassBuild

SilGuard is the only ADA compliant commercial drainable threshold available to the market. 

The Simultaneous Punching System is a smart and simple solution that saves precious time and money. Work efficiency increases dramatically by perforating several points at once, with fast and accurate results on every cycle.

With a light structure, each punching unit is compact yet strong for heavy duty continuous work with a press force of up to 1.5 tons. The units slide smoothly with a soft finger touch and can be locked in any position set by a measuring tape. 

The system has a failsafe fully pneumatic interface ‘Plug N Punch’ with no need for electricity, oil refills or maintenance. One foot lever can activate up to eight pneumatic units at once, in just a fraction of a second.

Die sets are completely changeable, thanks to a revolutionary ‘Quick Clamp’ system developed by Shoham. A set can be switched in just a few seconds by simply sliding out the old set and clamping on a new one instead. No need for any tools, extra hands or experience, the ‘Quick Clamp’ system can be easily utilized by anyone.

One of the most popular type of window in the United States
The Single-Hung window sash can be lifted only from the bottom. The main difference compared to the Double-Hung window is that the Single-Hung has a fixed glazing in the upper part. As a consequence of it, they are very energy efficient and easy to operate.

Dark colors continue to dominate, especially black, but are there new tendencies noticeable?

Certainly there are -  grey colors - already very popular outside North America, they are now also starting their trend here, but slightly different:

skai Mattex S-Bronze - a very dark graphitegrey and as part of the Mattex program with its distinct extreme matt surface, which we will showcase at the Glassbuild booth

skai Mattex – extreme matt with added value

With skai Mattex, Continental presents a new exterior surfaces program that inspires the market with an extreme matt in laminated surfaces. It has a gloss level of 2. This innovation  perfectly replicates the look and feel of powder-coated aluminium with a particularly fine, yet concisely structured surface. Due to the extremely matt finish, the surface has a very high-quality appearance, an impression that is intensified when touched. The surface is particularly scratch resistant due to its grain structure. In addition, it is sealed with a PVDF-layer resulting in a particularly low surface tension that makes it easy to clean. It is highly resistant to chemicals. Due to its high temperature resistance, it shows no gloss development during either welding or bending.

SunGuard SNR 50 coated glass provides a remarkable low solar heat gain, a neutral silver appearance and stunning neutral reflectivity, providing options for architects to achieve a specific aesthetic and make their designs come alive. 

SNR 50 offers a balance of medium reflectivity and neutral aesthetic with a 48 percent visible light transmission and 0.25 solar heat gain coefficient.

“Our projects strive for a sense of belonging and strong contextual relevance,” explains Matthew Z. Leach, AIA, Principal/Senior Designer, Page. “Glass should contribute to the vibrance of the project while highlighting the adjacent materials as well as the reflected context. It is important that the color rendition of reflection be as bright but also as neutral as possible. SunGuard® SNR 50 does this without appearing too dark or too reflective. It’s a very natural, neutral glass, evocative of more classic modern architectural glazing systems. It is as well suited for reflecting the bright sky as it is for reflecting beautiful landscapes and cityscapes."

By combining the classical, neutral aesthetic both at normal and angular incidence with superior energy performance, this new product presents attractive exteriors architects seek while helping to provide bright, comfortable interiors.
