Benefits
Using advanced Pilkington Spacia™ technology, this is the world’s first commercially-available vacuum glazing. It allows the manufacture of extremely thin glazing which can be fitted in old style fine frames, maintaining the original appearance of older traditional buildings.
- Thermal performance equal to or better than that of most low-e double glazing in the same thickness as single glass, offering the opportunity to improve energy efficiency in historic buildings.
- Five times better thermal insulation than single glazing provides lower heating bills.
- Suitable as a replacement for single-glazing in old frames, retaining the appearance of historic buildings and meeting the requirements for conservation areas.
- Suitable for other applications where use of thinner, low-weight glazing is desirable, such as sliding box sashes, secondary glazing, or as part of a triple glazed ‘super-window’.
- Also offers good acoustic performance for lower noise.
- Proven solution; successfully used in Japan for over a decade.
- Offers reduced levels of internal condensation compared to single glazing.
