On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, Lumon’s headquarters in Kouvola welcomed a delegation of 23 high-rise developers from Chile. This visit was part of a broader tour organized by the Chilean Construction Chamber, with a specific focus on sustainable and responsible building practices. Earlier in the week, the group visited Denmark and continued their journey to Finland to explore advancements in timber construction and other innovative construction solutions. 

Starting from 2.9.2024, Finnish company Balkonser will act as the authorized service provider for Lumon’s products in Finland. Both Lumon’s consumer and professional customers such as property managers and housing companies can order Lumon’s regular maintenance services in Finland from Balkonser’s website, balkonser.fi (note: the website can only be found in Finnish). Lumon will continue to provide scheduled maintenance for Lumon’s patio glazing and will be responsible for any repairs to its installed glazing under existing warranty.

Lumon has recently published a new product solution, Optiwhite. Optiwhite is a particularly clear, low-iron glass, which offers exceptional light transmission and is practically colourless. Unlike traditional glass, which often exhibits a greenish tint due to its iron content, Optiwhite is engineered to eliminate this discoloration.

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.

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.
