More than 4,000 IGUs made Super Spacer T-Spacer Premium Plus from Edgetech went into the construction of BaseCamp Lyngby, a 415,000 sqft student block in Copenhagen, Denmark,
Made of glass and facades in three different shades of oak, the building itself contains a total of 786 apartments, 639 of them for students, 48 for retired residents.
The structure is made out of trapezoidal modules stacked to different heights, allowing for the sloping walkway on its roof.
The building’s ventilated curtain wall was insulated with rock wool and clad with slabs made of pressed volcanic basalt rock from Rockpanel, while its green roof is covered in solar panels to generate electricity. Any rain that falls on the structure is disposed of via evaporation, reducing the ambient temperature and strain on the sewer system.
It required more than 4,000 IGUs, which had to conform to the irregular shape of the building.
Danish IGU manufacturer Glaseksperten, contracted to work on the project, operates a fully-automated, state-of-the-art Super Spacer line.
“Super Spacer is of key importance to Glaseksperten in supplying quality products which also ensure we are a leading company in economical and ecological terms”, said Sales Manager Jesper Hønning.
“The fully automated continuous application of spacer from the reel saves time and money, while guaranteeing top-class product quality.”
