Glas Trösch and SANCO at BAU 2023 – Unveiling of a sustainable trade fair concept

With the mission statement “Green for Generations”, the Glas Trösch Group launched a comprehensive initiative last year to increase the focus placed on environmental and climate protection. One result of this is the trade fair stand at BAU in Munich. Together with SANCO, the glass manufacturer will showcase a concept based on the Cradle to Cradle (C2C) design philosophy. Nothing on the stand is permanently glued in place; all of the components are simply slotted in or screwed together. And wherever possible, C2C-certified and recyclable materials are used. Greater sustainability is also at the heart of the product innovations on display at BAU: the main focus is on glass solutions that protect against summer heat, which is becoming increasingly important in these times of climate change.

Protection from summer heat – the key to greater energy efficiency

Given the challenges of climate change, there is now demand for windows and glass façades that feature two characteristics that at first glance are rather contradictory: they should provide a good view of the outside world and let plenty of natural light into the building, but at the same time prevent the interior from overheating during the warmer months. The latest generation of Glas Trösch’s solar protection glazing on display at BAU provides a solution. Insulating glass with integrated blinds such as SILVERSTAR CONTROL, OKALUX capillary inserts in the space between the panes, and controllable solar protection glass with eyrise® technology rounds off the product range. For Glas Trösch, protection against the summer heat starts with comprehensive planning: based on the innovative “360° glazing” concept, the Swiss glass manufacturer recommends the targeted use of insulating glass that reacts to specific requirements on the different building façades and therefore significantly increases energy efficiency.
