ISOLAR® Glas
An idea becomes reality
Nothing can stand in the way for the success of any business that solves a key problem for its customers better than anyone else. This general experience is impressively confirmed by the life and work of Alfred Arnold, the inventor of the ISOLAR® glass and founder of the ISOLAR® community. Right from the start he strove to increase customer benefit using technological innovation
It all started in 1959 when he replaced the normal stiff edge bonding of the time with an elastic, bonded system. The benefits for the customer were enormous: fewer failures, higher load-bearing capacity, increased working life.
In addition, delivery times were reduced, as ISOLAR® with this edging approach could be also be produced in a decentralised manner. But this “revolution” in the production of insulating glass was just the start. Granting licenses to other companies meant the ISOLAR® association grew in importance. And along with sheer size, the innovation power also grew.
Today, the ISOLAR® Group can boast special solutions for the widest possible range of challenges: ISOLAR NEUTRALUX® high performance insulating glass, ISOLAR AKUSTEX® sound insulating glass, ISOLAR SOLARLUX® sun protection glazing and ISOLAR MULTIPACT® are just some of the functional glass products in the range. A spirit of discovery and consistent customer orientation has made ISOLAR® one of the most prominent insulating glass brands in the world. At the same time, all the medium-sized companies in the association have kept their own independence. The latest steps in this direction are the presentation of the innovative products ISOLAR VISOREX® light guide glass, the vacuum panel ISOLAR VACUREX® for thermal insulation and finally the new bird protection glass ISOLAR ORNILUX®.
