An ambitious office development in Paris has become the latest project to benefit from Quanex company Edgetech’s world-leading Super Spacer® technology.
Located in the suburb of Malakoff, the 15,500-square-metre development is centred around a 4,500-square-metre green lung, promoting wellness, productivity, and a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor working environments.
Key to the project’s outstanding sustainability credentials is its use of curved and flat insulating glass units featuring Super Spacer® – Edgetech’s flexible, warm-edge spacer bar system.
The flexible Super Spacer® system is a highly effective solution for optimising thermal separation between glass panes, significantly reducing heat loss, enhancing energy efficiency and directly reducing CO2 emissions.
Manufactured by DOERING GLASS Berlin and utilising Saint-Gobain’s COOL-LITE® ORAÉ® low-carbon glass, the glazing system helps significantly reduce the building’s overall carbon footprint.
“This project really does show what can be achieved when innovation, sustainability, and architectural ambition come together,” said Mike Moran, Edgetech’s Vice President of Sales (Europe & UK). “We’re extremely proud that Super Spacer® was chosen to support such a forward-thinking development.”
The project also marks a major step in the drive toward low-emission construction in France, being the first commercial new build in the country to adopt Saint-Gobain’s ultra-low carbon glass. Combined with DOERING GLASS’s energy-certified production and carbon offsetting measures, the façade helps the building meet strict ESG and lifecycle emissions criteria.
Mike added, “Our long-term sustainability strategy and innovative technologies are enabling our customers to meet new environmental standards, enhance production efficiency, and build with confidence in an ever-evolving marketplace.”
