Wold Record: Henze-Glas causes a sensation with giant dimensions

Insulated glass with record dimensions of 3300 x 18000 mm at Glasstec 2010.

All eyes are on the largest-scale energy-saving glass available at the moment with record measurements of 3300 x 18000 mm, a weight of 4455 kg and a design of 3 layers of 10mm float glass. Dietmar Henze, Managing Director of Henze-Glas, said: "With our gigantic pane of insulated glass, we have taken a step towards never before seen dimensions. I had a few sleepless nights, but together with my colleagues, I have achieved something that others did not dare to do or did not even imagine. And we are proud of that."

As one of the very few suppliers of large-scale glass panes, Henze-Glas has positioned itself in this oversized section of the market for some years now. The large-scale glass panes are produced in Hörden am Harz. Here, the glass is processed and made into insulated glass. Henze-Glas had already invested significant amounts in production and handling some years ago in order to produce and process these special insulated glass panes. The UNIGLAS cooperation partner in Hörden has been producing panes with dimensions of 3210 x 6000mm since 2001. Thanks to constant further development and optimisation, today, 3-layer insulated glass with different structures and dimensions such as 3210 x 9000mm with an ug value of 0.6W/m² is now mass produced. With our own special transporters, we are able to transport the gigantic panes to the construction site, planning every manoeuvre in detail. Here, the Hörden-based specialists ensure professional assembly. With its gigantic insulated glass pane, Henze-Glas shows the possibilities for glass facades with a large surface area with maximum transparency in an impressive way.
