BENGglas® has sustainably renovated the facade of a historic building in Arnhem using tempered vacuum glass. The executor, Achterberg Schilders, highlights a number of important aspects of vacuum glass. The executor mentions the good insulation value (U=0.4), the handling and the light weight of the glass. With a profile from 8.15 mm, vacuum glass is ideal for renovations without frame replacement. The residents not only experience improved insulation, but also increased living comfort by reducing drafts and outside noise. Thanks to the national BENGglas® dealer network, the entire project ran efficiently in just 2 days.

The vacuum glass production line has a length of 400 meters and annually produces 120,000 square
meters of toughened vacuum insulating glass.

ISDE subsidy is available on BENGglas®. This amounts to 23 euros per m2 and can be requested with reporting code KA18780.

If you also replace the window frames, you can use reporting code KA19317. You are then eligible for a subsidy of 65.50 euros per m2.

If you take two insulating measures, these amounts double.

The glass bead pendulum test is essential for fall safety at floor edge separations according to the Dutch Building Decree. The law prescribes that a floor partition is mandatory if there is a fall risk of more than 1 meter. Building Decree specifications and safety demonstrations refer to the Eurocode NEN-EN-1990. These include ultimate limit states (static calculation) and special loads (analytical & experimental). BENGglas® passes the glass bead pendulum test, in which experimental loads are tested exclusively, and therefore meets the safety standards for floor edge barriers.

BENGglas® is the only toughened vacuum insulating glass in the world!
Toughening glass has several advantages:

• The glass is up to five times stronger than normal single or double glazing of the same thickness;
• When the glass breaks, it shatters into small particles without sharp edges. This makes it injury-proof, prevents cuts and makes it official safety glass;
• Thermal breakage is completely excluded.
