After Finiglas produced 400m² of curved insulated panes for the courtyards at the AZ

Zeno Hospital in Knokke, Belgium, they are now producing curved elements for the

facade in Duelmen, Germany. The architecture of the hospital being built in Knokke is

completely tailored to the needs of the patients. Curved shapes and plenty of daylight

enhance the patients’ well-being. In cooperation with the Semco safety glass factory

in Nordhorn, the Semcoglas Group is producing nearly 2400m² of curved toughe-

ned and laminated safety glass panes for the circumferential outer facade. These are

exclusively model panes which are silk-screened in a complicated process in Nordhorn

and bent, pre-stressed and laminated at Finiglas in the final finishing process.

Not a conventional hospital

A complex, point-fixed double facade domina-

tes the view of the shopping mall in Lublin, Po-

land. The curved panes give the shopping cen-

ter its dynamic, modern look. Finiglas delivered

485 m² of curved insulated glass with white la-

minated safety glass made of toughened safety

glass (heat-soak-tested) to Glass Mal’s Polish

partner. Openings and counter-bores provide

the connection points for the support struc-

ture. With these elaborately produced, white

glass insulated panes, the entire glass facade of

the shopping center not only offers a visually

appealing impression, but also the best safety

conditions.
