In its first ten years, Swisspacer鈥檚 leading warm edge spacer has been used in a large number of the world鈥檚 major commercial projects. It has been specified for many of the world鈥檚 most iconic buildings such as Norman Foster鈥檚 Swiss Re 鈥楪herkin鈥� in London, the Turning Torso in Malmo, Sweden, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Torre de Cristal in Madrid.
Most recently Swisspacer was used for one of Korea鈥檚 most expensive accommodation complexes, the Queendom Apartment complex. The construction project in Busan required 61,000m² of glass, using 300,000m of Swisspacer. It is the latest of nine large-scale Korean construction projects which specified the top-performing warm edge spacer for long-life energy saving. Other recently completed projects include Park Tower in Seoul, the Samsung Cancer Centre in Seoul and the MBC Cheong-Ju broadcasting centre. The glass required for each project ranged from 10,000m² to 71,000m².
Swisspacer supplies sealed unit manufacturers and window fabricators with the best performing warm edge spacer for thermal efficiency. But Swisspacer鈥檚 other attributes make it the ideal choice for construction projects using large amounts of glass in exposed conditions.
Swisspacer鈥檚 managing director Matthias Meissner comments, 鈥淪wisspacer is now well known as the highest performing warm edge spacer bar, having been independently tested against other leading spacers in Europe, coming out top for PSI values. Its structural integrity means it is ideal for applications where glass or facades are exposed to high thermal and mechanical forces in tall buildings where soft spacers may fail. Swisspacer鈥檚 performance gives architects and designers the confidence to specify it for buildings with a lot of glass, from Korea, Japan and the USA to the UK, where it is making rapid progress. They know the sealed units will satisfy the most demanding requirements. Along with its cost benefits, people are saying it is the ideal spacer for tough times and tough conditions.鈥�
