ArchitecturalGlazed and efficient – making smart use of glass in modern architecture
Modern architecture makes such a strong statement because of glass. Its design capabilities are limitless. When processed correctly, this unique material fulfills not only aesthetic but also safety, durability, sound insulation, as well as thermal and solar control functions. What’s more, glass is key to truly sustainable and low-energy buildings.
With the boom in state-of-the-art glass façades throughout the world, requirements for processing efficiency, quality features and sophistication are growing, too. Glaston provides advanced heat treatment technology to produce even the most demanding architectural solutions that are prepared for tomorrow’s challenges.
- Bringing daylight into buildings is a core element of sustainable architecture
- Greater light transmission creates a comfortable working and living environment

“We’ve always been an important partner to the large window manufacturers in Finland. Listening to their needs and responding has helped us stay competitive in this market,” Tommi Nousiainen, CEO of PLG in Finland, explains. “We were not specifically looking for a tempering furnace. But when our customers began to require high-quality tempered glass, we moved swiftly ahead with an entry-level Glaston RC model. Since then, we have already been able to upgrade the line twice in response to the rapidly evolving market.”
