Solutions for Architects and Planners
State-of-the-art glass architecture with H.B. Fuller | KÖMMERLING
Glass façades have evolved into a multifunctional and highly complex building component. They perform numerous tasks such as thermal and sound insulation, sun protection or light control. Nowadays they are also used for energy generation and as a media, interactive platforms. H.B. Fuller | KÖMMERLING is constantly researching new adhesive and sealant solutions for innovative glass façades and is implementing them with leading international architectural designers and engineering companies. H.B. Fuller is one of the global market leaders in adhesives and sealants and the world’s largest supplier of adhesives for glass applications.
Longterm tight edge seal as the basis for sustianable construction with glass
First-class warm edge
The innovative KÖDISPACE 4SG spacer system for insulating glass offers the highest energy efficiency and maximum service life with a truly distinctive appearance. This warm edge system is the perfect solution for energy-efficient, sustainable glass architecture.
Visually sensational
As the frame colour of the window is reflected, KÖDISPACE 4SG appears almost invisible. Nothing reflects or glares unaesthetic as with conventional spacers. Moreover, the warm edge system sits absolutely parallel – even in triple glazing, curved shapes or oversized windows.
State-of-the-art Glass Facades with Structural Glazing
Structural glazing for unique glass façades
In structural glazing, the glass elements are bonded to a supporting structure. The high-performance adhesives from H.B. Fuller | KÖMMERLING stand out with their exceptional mechanical strength combined with excellent elasticity.
Warm edge system for structural glazing façades
KÖDISPACE 4SG is an extremely robust and resilient warm edge system for multiple glazing, which is ideally suited for use in structural glazing façades. The additional chemical bonding to glass and silicone edge sealant creates extremely tight and durable gas-filled glass façades.
Meets the highest demands
Modern architecture often places extreme demands on the long-term energy efficiency and gas-tightness of insulating glass units – for example, when insulating glass is cold bent. KÖDISPACE 4SG compensates occurring deformations in the edge seal. The warm edge system therefore guarantees permanent gas tightness even with curved insulating glass units.
A FORWARD-LOOKING TREND: BUILDING-INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAICS (BIPV) AND MEDIA FAÇADES
The façade as a supplier of electricity
Alongside the energy efficiency of a façade, energy generation is a forward-looking topic in architectural design. Similar to insulating glass, solar panels can also be produced with the elastic edge seal from H.B. Fuller | KÖMMERLING. The company has also been implementing solutions for load-bearing bonding for building-integrated photovoltaics (BiPV) for many years.
Media façades with H.B. Fuller | KÖMMERLING
Embedding LEDs in laminated glass creates an innovative high-tech product capable of transforming buildings into media screens. An active media façade also offers space for information and active architainment (architecture + entertainment).
