Our different types of glazing
Increasingly expensive energy, the fragility of the environment and CO2 emissions have become important topics. It is today that essential decisions are made and the construction trades are constantly challenged to reduce the energy consumption of buildings.

Standards
SprimoGlass UltraOne 1.0w/(m2k)
The U_g value of 1.0 W/m²K (with 90% Argon filling) of Sprimoglass UltraOne NG makes it one of the best double glazing ever made in terms of thermal insulation. We are reaching the limits of the possible with regard to the insulating power of double glazing.
Other glazing on request
Double glazing: UltraOne NG (U=1.0)
Increasingly expensive energy, the fragility of the environment and CO2 emissions have become important topics. It is today that essential decisions are made and the construction trades are constantly challenged to reduce the energy consumption of buildings.
EXCELLENCE: SPRIMOGLASS ULTRAONE NG
The U value of 1.0 W/m²K (with 90% Argon filling) of Sprimoglass UltraOne NG makes it one of the best double glazing ever made in terms of thermal insulation. We are reaching the limits of the possible with regard to the insulating power of double glazing. This is a 10% improvement on the already remarkable performance of the Optima 1.1!
ECONOMY AND ECOLOGY
Even more insulating than Sprimoglass Optima, Sprimoglass UltraOne NG glazing entitles you to the same bonuses offered for the placement of economical frames. In addition, each liter of fuel oil consumed represents 3 kg of CO2 released into nature.
ALWAYS MORE COMFORT
By its neutrality, the UltraOne NG bathes you in natural light, masking the effect of a cold wall near a window.
Main benefits
-
exceptional insulating power
-
very good transparency
-
neutral look
-
real impact on the environment
By promoting energy savings, you are taking concrete action against pollution.

Triple Glazing: Eclaz3 & Ultra3 (U=0.5 to 0.8)
Sprimoglass' Eclaz³ triple glazing consists of three clear glasses with on sides 2 and 5, a layer with reinforced thermal insulation. Eclaz is produced using a new laser technology which gives it exceptional transparency. Two 15mm spacers, filled with 90% Argon, form the whole and deliver incredible glazing reaching a Ug value of 0.6 W/m²K. An 18mm spacer makes it possible to achieve a Ug value of 0.5 W/m²K.
INCREDIBLE INSULATING GLASS
Thanks to these incredible insulating glazing, architects can now give free rein to their imagination and offer a living structure made up of large glazed spaces. “Low-energy” houses, known as economical houses, also benefit from these new high-performance glazings.

PHOTOMETRIC DATA
Security = Sprimosafe
Laminated glass is a protective glass composed of two or more sheets of glass assembled together by means of one or more films of PolyVinylButyral (PVB). In the event of breakage, the pieces of glass remain attached to each other.
SECURITY
Injury Protection
SprimoSafe laminated glass, once broken, greatly limits the risk of cuts because the pieces of glass adhere to the PVB film. On the roof, laminated glass is mandatory for the inside face, in case an object strikes a glass roof.
Bodyguard
The pieces of glass remaining together after breakage, SprimoSafe laminated glass maintains its role as a screen against the risk of defenestration. However, the implementation must comply with the requirements in force (NBN S23-002, NIT 221, STS54, NBN EN 12600).
Burglary protection
SprimoSafe laminated glass offers resistance to repeated blows which depends on its composition. Even if the glass is broken, the PVB interlayers continue to prevent intrusion. The number of PVB determines the resistance to burglary. The carpentry in which these glasses are installed must also be adapted.
Bullet protection
SprimoSafe laminated glass provides firearm impact resistance that is a function of its composition.
ACOUSTIC COMFORT
Due to its composition, laminated glass offers enhanced acoustic attenuation. In cases where sound insulation is paramount, conventional PVB can be replaced by acoustic PVB.
PROTECTION AGAINST ULTRAVIOLET
A laminated glass with 2 PVB retains more than 99% of UV, which causes discoloration of the objects on display.
FLOOR TILES
For glass stair treads or floor slabs, the thickness of laminated glass to be used will be determined based on the usage. As a general rule, these are very thick glasses.
INALTABILITY
PVB does not yellow in daylight or artificial light.
AESTHETIC
PVB can be colored: matte, bronze,... and combine design and safety.
COMMON USE
In order to guard against possible defenestration, or to ensure protection of the railing type, a laminate with 2 PVB is necessary (44.2, 55.2, etc.).
For protection against attempted break-in, the minimum is also 2 PVB.
Increased security (isolated dwelling, exposed valuables, etc.) may justify a composition with 4 or even 6 PVB (44.4, 44.6).
If the risk of burglary is high (jewellery, etc.), other compositions with multiple layers of glass and PVB become essential (for example 444.8).
TESTS AND COMPOSITIONS

Bullet protection
When people need to be protected from gunfire (banks, service stations, army buildings, etc.), the SprimoSafe range
offers a wide variety of glazing adapted according to the use, type of weapons and ammunition against which it is necessary to protect oneself.
These glazings have been tested according to the NBN EN 1063 standard.
