Innovation.
As a result of its continuous efforts to safeguard the environment and conserve energy, Seves marks an important achievement in glass architecture with the introduction of a more sustainable and ecological technology.
Thanks to special investments in the production process, and to ongoing collaboration with national scientific institutes, such as the Stazione Sperimentale del Vetro, the Giordano Institute and the consortium of research at the University of Florence, Seves has redefined and reset the U-value limits for the thermal transmittance of glass.
The new and innovative technology modifies the reflective and transmissive properties of the glass block, without altering its mechanical and chemical characteristics.
Technology.
Patented by Seves, ENERGY SAVING effectively reduces the thermal transmittance of the glass block up to 50%, with the introduction of a low-emissivity glass plate and pressure controlled argon gas. The glass plate is inserted between the glass block halves to interrupt the thermal bridge, while the argon gas is added to reduce the thermal transmission caused by convective motion.
The result is a classic glass block, like the famous Pegasus 19x19x8cm, that can reach a thermal transmittance value of U=1.5 W/m² K. |
