Perfect for future build projects where energy efficiency and soundproofing are a priority without having to meet strict passive house standards.
Addressing your specific needs
But what about the specific details that matter to you as Timber Window Manufacturers? Let’s address them:
- What about the plugs and getters
- In Heritage and Optimum units, plugs and getters are located within a 20mm border around the unit. These components are concealed within a standard glazing rebate, offering a sleek appearance. On smaller units, the aligning of getters and plugs along the same horizontal edge enables shuffle glazing to completely hide them, further enhancing window performance.
- Micro-Pillars
- Commonly known as “the dots,” these micro-pillars prevent glass panes from touching under the high vacuum pressure. Vacuum glass advanced technology ensures significantly fewer micro-pillars compared to other vacuum glazing options. Moreover, the coloration of the pillars makes them inconspicuous, rendering them virtually invisible when viewed from a standard distance of 2m.
- Benefits over triple glazing
- Sustainability and energy conservation expectations from specifiers and the general public are advancing quickly. Triple glazing is an option for better performance, but it is thick and heavy. This can lead to the requirement to alter sections to house the thicker unit. Vacuum glazing is slimmer, lighter also has the benefit of looking much more traditional than triple glazing. The U-values and Acoustic performance of vacuum glass are also much greater than a typical triple glazed unit.
- Maximum and minimum unit sizes
- The maximum unit size 1500mm x 2500mm. Vacuum glazing units are actually more rigid than typical double glazing due to the vacuum, but as units get larger they may be made using thicker glass panes. The minimum unit size is typically 300mm x 300mm, but smaller sizes can often be made on demand. The minimum unit size for pricing is 0.3m2.
- Shaped glass units
- Vacuum glass is available in a variety of shapes. The maximum width to Height ratio 1:6 for 8.3mm, if the ratio is any larger then it will need to be 10.3mm. Any shape with a right angle and single point of radius is possible. Isosceles triangles or right-angled triangles with a hypotenuse greater that 370mm are also possible. In all cases, CAD drawings must be supplied for any shape orders. If you aren’t sure, then just ask!
