Deceuninck and AGC Glass Europe enter into a strategic partnership
Deceuninck, a specialist in the development and production of PVC and aluminium window and door profiles, and AGC Glass Europe have entered into a strategic partnership.
The combination of their know-how and expertise in their respective fields has resulted in new innovative solutions that enable the integration of Fineo vacuum glass into the PVC and aluminium profiles of the Elegant and Decalu series, respectively.
This offers architects, building contractors and owners with access to solutions that meet the ever stricter requirements in the field of thermal and acoustic performance and light transmission.
Although the two elements have been inextricably connected for centuries, window frames and glazing were two very distinct things until recently.
Lately, manufacturers and suppliers of both components have started working together in order to offer high-quality comprehensive solutions. “In late 2014 we had already reached an agreement with AGC Glass Europe to launch innovative solutions together. Over the years, we renewed our successful cooperation a few times, and made it stronger”, says Bernard Vanderper, Sales Manager Western Europe at Deceuninck. “On 12 October of this year, we took this cooperation a step further and signed a strategic partnership, enabling us to now offer the Elegant PVC and Decalu aluminium window profiles with Fineo vacuum glass. Our R&D division revised and adjusted the sealing concept for these different series, so that we can now integrate this ultra-slim glazing into our profiles without losing the unrivalled level of thermal and acoustic insulation and light transmission.”
