The new lightness in construction and architecture GEWE-composite® is the name given to a new high-tech material which creates a symbiosis of the properties of glass and transparent polymers and boasts weight saving of up to 30 %. GEWE-composite® is a laminated glass, consisting of two (or more) thin mono glasses (from 1.9 mm thick), which are stuck in a shear connection using a transparent plastic core. The complexity of the characteristics found in GEWEcomposite® enables a variety of improved applications in the field of construction. Benefits of GEWE-composite®: Significant weight reduction of up to 30 % High resistance to breakage and residual load bearing capacity Integration of fixing elements possible Maximum design freedom in construction and dimensions through an innovative cold-bent glass without elastic recovery High UV permeability (depending on application)

GEWE-composite® opens up perspectives, which on the one hand enable greater activation of the composite effect and on the other, realise cylindrically cold deformed panes. In addition, the lightweight glass technology allows the integration of various elements (e.g. metal angles) in the composite material and as such, to connect glass and sub-constructions. In addition to the lower net weight, GEWE-composite® is characterised by transparency, high resistance to ageing and weathering, a high mechanical strength, perfect flatness, a minimal risk of fracturing and higher elasticity.
