More than 2000 square metres of high specification insulating glass units have been supplied by HansenGlass for the construction of a prestigious commercial office building in the heart of Glasgow.

More than 2000 square metres of high specification insulating glass units have been supplied by HansenGlass Limited for the construction of a prestigious commercial office building in the heart of Glasgow The Production Manager for Systems Aluminium Mr Gordon McIntyre, comments: "We awarded the contract for the supply of our insulating glass units and other glass requirements to HansenGlass, not only because we have had past experience of working with the manufacturer, and because of the price, but also because they were able to supply the larger pane sizes that other companies couldn't." Systems Aluminium Limited was the specialist contractor which undertook a £1.2 million package for the design, manufacture and installation of all the curtain walling and cladding

As a regular customer of HansenGlass, Systems Aluminium called on the glazing specialist to supply its ThermoCool insulating glass units for the main elevations to the eight storey building.

HansenGlass also supplied some 500 square metres of its CeramaliteTM enamelled units.

These feature a cactus green finish and are employed as spandrel panels to mask the floor slabs and service areas.

HansenGlass coordinated its deliveries with the site team so that the units could be lifted directly from the lorry for glazing at the appropriate floor level.

Such logistical considerations being of vital importance for congested city centre sites.

Each ThermoCool unit incorporated a green tinted outer pane to provide solar control, while the inner leaf utilised a low E glass.

Together the special glasses making up the units optimise the thermal performance of the building envelope in both summer and winter.
