Less is our Building Stone

Hybridized

We Build More With Less

Our patented production process enables Hybridized to handle ultrathin and flexible materials in production of insulated glass. We replace heavy intermediate glass layers with ultra thin and super light optical films. - reducing material use, weight, and CO₂ footprint while improving energy and thermal performance.

From our first product line, HyLight, to our system-wide circular vision of HyOrbit, Hybridized is creating a new industry standard that benefits every player in the value chain of glass windows facade and buildings.

HyLight glass is the first step toward a circular future — the entry point to our long-term circular vision: HyOrbit.

Lightweight. Energy-efficient. Circular-ready.

Hybridized introduces HyLight, a breakthrough in insulated glass technology. Our patented production process enables replacing of heavy glass layers with ultra-thin, ultralight layers — reducing weight, material use, and CO₂ emissions while improving thermal and energy performance with no added weight. This technology is scalable through implementation on existing production lines.

30-70% less

CO₂ footprint in new production. Hybridized technology cuts material usage and environmental impact by 30-70%, helping address global resource shortages.

50-70% more

Energy Efficiency with no added weight or CO₂ footprint, Hybridized technology improves energy performance (U-value) by 50-70%

Improvement of U-values

Significant improvement of U-values without adding extra weight or materials.

Seamless Integration

How hybridized address the importance of glass

Glass is a remarkable building material that combines light, structural strength, transparency and esthetics. It enhances insulation and maximizes natural daylight - creating inviting and livable internal spaces through internal comfort.

Today architecture without glass is unthinkable. Still the resources of building-glass is handled in a way where key input factors into high quality glass is becoming a scarce resource.

Hybridized is addressing this issue in three steps:

HyLight - reducing the internal use of insulation glass build up enabling the use of ultra thin materials, replacing glass
Direct implementation of new technologies bypassing todays glass lamination leading to added weight and use of glass.
Our circular vision (HyOrbit) where glass panes in outdated insulation glass through recycle can be set into orbit through reuse - This recycling can be done an infinite number of times. Enabled by HyLight strengthened by direct implication of new technologies, resulting in zero-use of new produced glass.
