Maersk Tower
28th August 2018

Super Spacer TriSeal has been used in The Maersk Tower, home to the medical laboratories of the University of Copenhagen, which was built in line with Denmark’s commitment to becoming 100% carbon neutral by 2050.

The structure incorporates resource-saving measures that include automatic LED lighting, an eco-friendly cooling system and rainwater collection for toilet flushing and garden irrigation.

Three-thousand vertical copper-clad fins act as both solar shading and wind protection for the building’s 15 storeys of cylindrically curved triple-glazed facades – where Edgetech’s Super Spacer TriSeal was used.

“The Maersk Tower is an outstanding example of how the smallest of components – in this case, warm-edge spacer – can have such a huge impact on a building’s overall performance,” said Edgetech Head of Marketing Charlotte Mercer.

“The sort of curved units that were used on this project demand precise, absolutely parallel application, and that made Super Spacer TriSeal the perfect choice.”

The structure has won the Scandinavian Green Roof Prize 2017, the Copenhagen City Architecture Award 2018, the World Architecture Festival Award 2017 in the Higher Education and Research category, and the European Copper in Architecture Award 2017.
