WICONA and Saint-Gobain Glass join forces to lead the market towards low carbon facades. WICONA and Saint-Gobain Glass are joining forces to drive decarbonisation by helping the building industry design sustainable façades that have circularity built in. The two companies are leading the way through the use of low embodied carbon products thanks to a high percentage of recycled materials: specifically, Hydro Building Systems aluminium façade products manufactured from Hydro CIRCAL® 75R and the Saint-Gobain Glass ORAÉ® glass substrate.

The new concealed window handle picks up on the trend to minimalist windows, i.e. windows with narrow sightlines, concealed hinges and fittings. This innovative design idea solves the issue of visible window handles. What makes it special is that the window handle is concealed in the sash. Both have the same surface texture and colour. Looking at the window head-on, the handle is not visible anymore, adding to a homogeneous appearance of the window.

At WICONA, we believe, we have the responsibility and the ability to tackle today’s and tomorrow’s most burning issue: climate change. Aluminium facades, windows and solar shading systems. Curtain walling.
Since 2019, we are using our end-of-life aluminium Hydro CIRCAL 75R, made of at least 75% post-consumer scrap, to build cities beyond tomorrow. This was an important step to actively participate in the decarbonisation of tomorrow‘s buildings. Today, 4 years later, we are going one step beyond: proudly presenting our near-zero carbon aluminium Hydro CIRCAL 100R, made of 100% post-consumer scrap! With this innovation, we will be able to build buildings that leave almost no carbon footprint and the first one is already underway.
