Super Spacer supports sustainability on Paris project

An ambitious office development in Paris has benefitted from Edgetech’s Super Spacer technology.

Located in the thriving suburb of Malakoff, the striking new Kalifornia office complex is a 15,500m2 development centred around a 4,500m2 green ‘lung’, designed to promote wellness, productivity, and a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor working environments.

Key to the project’s sustainability credentials is its use of curved and flat insulating glass units featuring Super Spacer – Edgetech’s flexible, warm-edge spacer bar system.

Manufactured by Doering Glass Berlin and utilising Saint-Gobain’s Cool-Lite Oraé low-carbon glass, the glazing system helps significantly reduce the building’s overall carbon footprint.

“This project really does show what can be achieved when innovation, sustainability, and architectural ambition come together,” said Mike Moran, Edgetech’s Vice President of Sales (Europe & UK). “We’re extremely proud that Super Spacer was chosen to support such a forward-thinking development.”

The Kalifornia Malakoff project also marks a major step in the drive toward low-emission construction in France, being the first commercial new build in the country to adopt Saint-Gobain’s ultra-low carbon glass.

Combined with Doering Glass’s energy-certified production and carbon offsetting measures, the façade helps the building meet strict ESG and lifecycle emissions criteria.

Mike continued. “As part of the Quanex family, Edgetech is proud to play a role in something bigger: improving the performance, efficiency, and aesthetics of buildings across Europe and beyond through continuous innovation.

“Our long-term sustainability strategy and innovative technologies are enabling our customers to meet new environmental standards, enhance production efficiency, and build with confidence in an ever-evolving marketplace.”
