In October 2024, the highly anticipated China International Door and Window Facade Expo (FBC2024) took place in Shanghai. As a key event in the global facade and window industry, FBC attracts architects, engineers, developers, and suppliers from around the world. This year, Appleton Specialty Glass once again stood out with its innovative products, showcasing the endless possibilities of future building materials.

At FBC2024, Appleton introduced three groundbreaking products: low-e coated channel glass, UniTIM insulation system, and digitally printed channel glass, highlighting its excellence in energy efficiency, aesthetics, and customization.

Low-E Coated Channel Glass: A Model of Low-Carbon Efficiency

Appleton’s low-e coated channel glass, with its excellent thermal performance, was a highlight of the event. The low-emissivity coating effectively reduces heat transmission, making it ideal for glass facades, skylights, and energy-efficient homes. The technology balances insulation and natural light transmission, making it a perfect choice for green building projects.

UniTIM Insulation System: Superior Insulation for Comfortable Spaces

Appleton's UniTIM system combines channel glass with advanced insulation materials, integrating multi-layer glass structures and TIM (transparent insulation material) to enhance thermal performance. The system offers exceptional R-values, lightweight design, and ease of installation, making it ideal for cold climates.

Digitally Printed Channel Glass: Customization Meets Artistry

Appleton’s digitally printed channel glass was a standout, offering endless design possibilities. The product allows intricate patterns and textures to be printed on glass, including stone-like textures, which when paired with lighting, create the effect of glowing stone. It also supports fully customizable designs for interior partitions and lobby decorations, making it an ideal solution for projects requiring unique artistic expressions.

Appleton's Resilient Growth Path

From FBC2023’s “resilient growth” to FBC2024’s multidimensional innovation, Appleton continues to lead the industry with product upgrades and technological advancements. With low-e coated channel glass, UniTIM insulation system, and digitally printed channel glass, Appleton offers architects and developers more possibilities for green and aesthetically striking buildings. The future looks bright for Appleton as it continues to drive sustainable and intelligent architecture worldwide.
