VS1 Systems
In 2020, Innovation Glass announced the development of VS1-g , which offers the option of a tempered glass fin in lieu of the standard extruded VS1 blade mullion. A high level of facade transparency is achieved. The VS1 system goals of simplicity, minimal metal, no horizontals and clear daylight openings are taken to a new level.
VS1-g KEY ATTRIBUTES
No drilled hole required in face glass
Standard through-the-joint VS1 fittings
Toggle fittings possible (flush exterior)
Direct glaze option (eliminates fittings)
Full-height unspliced fins possible to 60ft
VS1-g is a natural evolution of the original patented system, and provides excellent value to the marketplace for highly transparent facades by eliminating the drilled holes in the face glass. This significantly reduces the cost of glass fin walls, especially when using insulating glass. Any domestic supplier can provide the face glass.
An enhanced version of this system, VS1-g+, eliminates the fittings completely resulting in a truely all-glass facade.
VS1-g and g+ are further steps in curtain wall evolution. Innovation Glass continues to refine the components of the building envelope, with other innovations in development.
