Technoform celebrates 20 years of providing high-performance insulating glass, fenestration and cladding systems in North America. Technoform’s associates and products help residential, commercial and institutional building envelopes to balance energy efficiency with occupant health and comfort, while enhancing structural integrity, durability and aesthetics.
What Technoform says
“For two decades, our best-in-class building envelope products have been developed through collaboration and partnerships with our regional customers to create customized and durable solutions that boost thermal performance of insulating glass, windows, doors, curtainwall, storefront and opaque façades,” says Helen Sanders, PhD, general manager with Technoform North America. “High energy efficiency, long service life, and indoor comfort are crucial elements of sustainable building design. High-performance facades play a vital role in creating a comfortable and energy-efficient built environment.”
“Incorporating Technoform’s plastic hybrid stainless steel warm edge spacer and high-precision polyamide-based insulation profiles in fenestration improves thermal performance and condensation resistance without sacrificing durability or design. In addition, managing thermal bridging at panel attachments is also key to high-performance durable rainscreen systems. Technoform’s thermally broken cladding clips deliver high-thermal and structural performance at the lowest installed cost.”
