April 15th, 2017. Not that long ago, during GLASSTEC 2016, several new spacer solutions for thermally improved glass edge bond were introduced. My latest article for the GLASWELT-magazine gives an updated overview of the systems and informs about the latest trends. You can find the article (in German language) here.
BF-Webinars 1st half of 2013
February 5th, 2013. With the following webinar topics, I am included in the seminar program spring/summer 2013 of the BF Bundesverband Flachglas:
These online tutorials are all held in German language. They take approximately one hour each and shall give a first overview about the topics. More in detail and in english language are my on-site-workshops.
Information about the BF-Webinar-program is available here (in German):

Impressions from BAU 2013 Munich
January 18th, 2013. How nice to almost exclusively see triple glazings with warm edge spacers in the exhibits of the wooden and pvc window producers of Hall B4, C4 and B5. It has got around that warm edge is advantageous because it improves the Uw-values. The further distribution of warm edge is unstoppable, same as for triple glazing.
Metallic systems though seem not yet to have taken the message entirely. Hall A1 still contained quite a few exhibits with double glazings, often with aluminium spacers. What a pity, considering the high thermotechnical sensitivity of metallic window and facade systems to the improvement of the transition area between glass and frame. The use of warm edge makes technical sense and is a economic measure. As for the next BAU 2015, I am confident that regarding spacer and glass, also the exhibits in hall A1 will be up-to-date.
Webinar offer
January 6th 2013. In 2013, I am included again with the subjects “warm edge” and “glass damages” in the range of webinars proposed by the German glass association BF Bundesverband Flachglas. Although those webinars are in German language, I will publish the dates of the first half of 2013 here, as soon as they are fixed. More information is available directly at the BF, Troisdorf, Germany.
Welcome
January 6th, 2013. Welcome to my website! Please consider this place as a forum for exchange within the world of warm edge and glass. I am looking forward to receiving your comments or helpful suggestions.
