As a family-owned private business, this marks the first time in Lumon Group’s history to produce such a comprehensive report for its external stakeholders. “We feel that this is the right time to do so, given the increasing global demand for Lumon’s products and our enhanced professionalism as an organization,” states Lumon Group CEO Jussi Kinnunen. 

The SNA Symposium is a cultural activity that has emerged to generate a dialogue and a contrast between the architecture of Finland and Andalusia. The aim of this meeting is to create an event where architects from both territories share their work and experience, under a specific theme, in an academic atmosphere. The team of chairmen for SNA is composed by the architects Veli-Matti Sanaksenaho, Mikko Summanen (Finland) and Borja Sallago (Spain).

Lumon, the world’s leading manufacturer of frameless balcony glazing solutions, has partnered with Vancouver-based real estate company, Bosa Properties, to deliver balcony facades to a 50-storey residential tower – Solhouse 6035 – in the Greater Vancouver Area, Canada. With Lumon’s glazing and glass railing technology to be implemented on over 400 balconies, the project will be the tallest building globally to include Lumon’s retractable glass-panel technology. Construction is set to begin in 2024 and complete in 2028.

Lumon’s recent customer study reveals a notable trend: nearly 25-29% of respondents are using their outdoor spaces more than expected with the addition of glazing. While the concept of balcony glazing has become familiar in especially Nordic countries, the survey shows that the benefit of balcony glazing is often not fully realized until it becomes a natural part of everyday life. The survey, conducted across five countries -Finland, Sweden, Norway, Spain, and Canada- highlights dining and entertaining as one of the top ways of using the outdoor space. However, the possible uses of the space extend far beyond.  

Lumon, a global leader in balcony and terrace glazing solutions, in collaboration with AALTO Development, proudly announces the completion of “Lākhouse,” the first multi-residential project to include retractable frameless balcony glazing in the city of Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Situated on the picturesque shores of Lake Simcoe, Lākhouse, 10-storey resort-inspired condominium, provides 174 suites of modern and sustainable apartments, equipped with a Lumon balcony.   

When Lumon first embarked on its mission to change the way outdoor living is experienced in a small town in Finland, it was hard to imagine that some decades later, a 30M euro modern production facility for balcony glazing would be constructed in the heart of Andalusia. The decision of this extensive investment followed years of rapid growth in the Spanish market for Lumon, now celebrating its 30-year anniversary.  

Lumon first started its B2B sales operations in Germany in the mid 90’s, officially establishing a sister organization Lumon Deutschland GmbH in 2004. Lumon has continued to make its mark in the German cityscapes, with prominent growth especially in recent years. This growth is for example marked by the soon-completion of one of Lumon’s most significant projects in Germany, Roots, which will serve as a landmark in the city of Hamburg by the River Elbe.  

One year ago, Lumon launched consumer sales operations in the city of Warsaw, the location of Lumon’s Polish headquarters. With an already established B2B market, approaching and understanding the consumer landscape is now bringing in results, giving way for better outdoor living in the rapidly growing Polish city.
