Facade renovation at Sonnenweg 7 in Basel

Light, clarity and comfort – a building in new splendor

What happens when a building is getting on in years but still has plenty of potential? You bring it up to date – both technically and visually. That’s exactly what we were able to do with this exciting project in Basel.

In an existing building, the old solar control glass with its striking golden color was to be replaced with new, more neutral insulating glass. The challenge was to achieve the same or even better solar control. Thanks to our advice, the INFRASHADE® micro honeycomb insulating glass with its outstanding properties was used.

The difference in the building is visible at first glance. The new glass has a neutral appearance, lets in significantly more daylight and creates a more pleasant room atmosphere. At the same time, they continue to offer outstanding solar and thermal protection – thanks to state-of-the-art micro honeycomb technology.

The use of micro honeycomb insulating glass not only improved the energy balance of the building, but also enhanced its appearance in the long term. Yesterday” became “tomorrow” – without fundamentally changing the existing substance.
