Saint-Gobain Glass has announced the launch of its next-generation INSIO vacuum glazing on the European market. It was developed in collaboration with the American company LuxWall. The glazing brings together LuxWall’s transparent insulation technology and the expertise of Saint-Gobain Glass.
Saint-Gobain showcased the first INSIO prototypes at glasstec 2024. The product features the ECLAZ® LUMI low-emissivity (“low-E”) coating. In its hybrid version, it achieves a thermal transmittance (Ug) value of 0.4 W/(m²K). For comparison, according to Ukrainian standard DSTU B V.2.6, a double glazing unit (two panes of glass with one low-E coating, 16 mm thick) has a Ug of 1.96 W/(m²K). INSIO will also be available with low-carbon ORAÉ® glass, further strengthening its ecological advantages.
According to Nicolas Mondy, Vice President Glass Performance Segment at Saint-Gobain, the new product will help customers reduce energy losses while expanding design opportunities for architects. Scott Thomsen, CEO and founder of LuxWall, emphasised that the company’s mission is to cut building energy consumption at an affordable cost: “Together with Saint-Gobain Glass, we are transforming the building envelope from an energy weak point into an asset for sustainable development.”
