eyrise s350

The switchable façade glass with liquid crystal technology

In the dynamic solar control glass eyrise s350, the light and energy input is controlled via liquid crystals in the space between the glass sheets. At the heart of this innovative technology is licrivision®, a transparent liquid crystal mixture with special dye molecules. This mixture is placed between two glass sheets, that are coated with a transparent conductive film. Prompted by low voltage, the liquid crystals direction shifts and moves from a random position to a wellorganized orientation.

eyrise s350

Functionality: Effective sun and glare protection; stepless regulation of light and energy input

Aesthetics: Windows remain transparent in both darkened and light conditions

Features: Large selection of shapes, colours and sizes

Vacuum insulating glass

Vacuum insulating glass (VIG)

The glass solution for listed buildings

In historic buildings, windows are often not refitted with modern glazing due to aesthetic reasons or because of the requirements for listed buildings. Our vacuum insulating glass offers the perfect solution here: Due to the extremely small overall thickness of the insulating glass structure, it also fits in the existing frames used for single-glazed windows. The windows then retain their original charm while also meeting contemporary requirements in terms of thermal insulation and sound insulation.

Vacuum insulating glass (VIG)

Aesthetics: The historic appearance of the windows is maintained thanks to the thin glazing; virtually invisible microspacer

Functionality: Good insulating qualities and contemporary sound insulation with high light transmission

Special feature: Installation in existing frames for single-glazed windows possible

Glass façade systems

SWISSWALL

The high-quality point support system for frameless glass façades

With SWISSWALL, we create particularly filigree, frameless glass façades. The glass elements are fixed in place with a few point-shaped supports and thus guarantee maximum transparency. SWISSWALL is used wherever the façade, as a distinctive design element, should underscore the character of a building.

SWISSWALL

Aesthetics: Accentuated appearance due to a minimum of visible supports and maximum transparency

Usage: Complete system for multifunctional use

Safety: Simple assembly and adjustability as well as a high degree of prefabrication; fall-proof to SIA standards and guidelines such as SIGaB

SWISSGLAZING

The system for large-scale glass façades with the best views

Large-scale glass façades with a clear span width of up to 6 metres for each glass element can be implemented with the façade system SWISSGLAZING. This is made possible by laminated safety glass, which is characterised by enhanced stiffness.

SWISSGLAZING

Aesthetics: Maximum transparency as there is no visible façade structure

Usage: For glass façades with high wind loads which do not exceed a deformation of L/100 under maximum load

Special feature: No time-consuming static calculations; cost savings due to the elimination of mullion-and-transom construction
