Pilkington Nederland BV has recently taken a significant step forward in quality assurance by incorporating the Sparklike Laser Portable™ into their production process.

This move exemplifies the company’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards in the manufacturing of insulating glass units (IGUs).

Pilkington Nederland Aims to Exceed Quality Standards

The training session for the Sparklike Laser Portable™ was an event marked by a keen interest in innovation and quality. The training provided the team at Pilkington Nederland BV with comprehensive knowledge about the advanced features of the device. It is designed to non-invasively measure the insulating gas fill percentage in IGUs, an essential factor in determining the thermal performance of the insulating glass.

“Quality is very important for Pilkington Nederland, and with the newest Sparklike we can secure the quality even better. So, thanks!” Bert Poelman, Operations Manager from Pilkington Nederland BV commented. This sentiment highlights the industry’s growing focus on not just meeting, but exceeding quality standards. Also, MI Windows told in their interview that they aim to exceed the general requirements.

Dutch Insulating Glass Industry Is Focusing on Quality

The Dutch insulating glass industry has been on a progressive trajectory, with companies like Pilkington Nederland BV at the forefront. The Netherlands has little by little focused on building regulations concerning energy efficiency and sustainability. Insulating glass plays a critical role in this, as it significantly reduces energy consumption in buildings by providing excellent thermal insulation.

In addition, Netherlands has been increasingly adopting energy-efficient solutions in construction, with a notable rise in the use of high-quality IGUs. The market demand for energy-efficient windows and façades is on the rise, driven by both environmental concerns and stringent EU regulations.
