Interpane Glas Industrie AG

Company Description

Interpane Glas Industrie AG is one of Europe's most important flat glass processors. The company was founded in 1971 by Georg F. Hesselbach and has its headquarters in Lauenförde, Germany. At 11 locations throughout Europe, Interpane produces high-quality glazing products. Among these locations is a joint venture with the Scheuten group in Osterweddingen, which was put into operation in 2009. Under the company name f | glass GmbH, this facility produces float glass, high-quality clear glass as well as semi-finished products for the solar industry.

Interpane offers functional and exquisite top products: The product range includes highly efficient solar protection, optimum thermal insulation, safety glazing, sound insulation and design products.

Thermal insulation: iplus thermal insulation glazing enables the planning of large glass areas, which not only satisfy the economical and ecological requirements but also the aesthetic demands – all without wasting energy. Highly selective coatings combine state-of-the-art heat-insulating values (down to 0.5 W/m2K) with excellent light transmittance and high passive solar energy gains.

Solar protection: Architects and planners use ipasol solar control glazing for their trendsetting energetic concepts, without having to compromise on transparency or impressive optics. ipasol facade glazing allows plenty of daylight into the room and the very low solar factor reduces the costs for air conditioning. In the wide range of customisable radiation characteristics and colour accents, architects are sure to find a suitable solar control glazing for any architectural demand.

Safety: Due to its shatterproof and attack-blocking properties, ipasafe laminated sheet glass can be used for all applications with increased safety requirements. It comprises two or more float glass panes, which are securely joined by PVB foil.

Noise insulation: ipaphon noise insulation glazing covers a wide spectrum of sound insulating properties as well as reduces heat transfer losses. It reaches a weighted sound reduction index (RW) of up to 52 decibels.

Solar applications: In the fall of 2009, a new flat glass production facility was established in Osterweddingen, Saxony-Anhalt, as a joint venture between the Dutch-German Scheuten Group and Interpane. This company operates under the name f | glass GmbH. This latest production location is an ideal addition within the Interpane Group. The state-of-the-art facility applies float glass technology to produce ipafloat flat glass, ipawhite clear glass and semi-finished products, mostly for the solar industry.

Design glass: Ambitious architecture with large glass areas provides planners and artists with virtually unlimited possibilities for experimenting with shapes, colours, patterns and structures. Glass is a rather ageing resistant material – spanning generations. Suitable areas of application not only include huge prestigious objects, but even residential architecture offers a large number of application possibilities. In addition to the classic procedures, such as screen-printing and sand blasting, there are nowadays new possibilities, e.g. ceramic digital printing or high-quality laminates. Moreover, most of the various methods can easily be combined. Designs are possible in float, toughened safety glazing, heat strengthened glazing, laminated sheet glazing and insulation glazing.
