Discover the Superior Benefits of Vacuum Insulated Glass (VIG) for Timber Windows

Welcome to the Timber Window Manufacturers page, where we explore the incredible benefits of using vacuum insulated glass in timber window applications. NuGen Glass offers a revolutionary solution that combines cutting-edge vacuum glass technology with exceptional energy efficiency, making it the ideal choice for various timber window projects.

Ideal Vacuum Glass Product: Optimum

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 slim double-glazing

While slim double glazing may have served its purpose in the past, the industry is rapidly progressing toward higher sustainability and energy conservation expectations. Slim double glazing falls short in terms of heat retention, exhibits double reflection even in the slimmest units, and has shorter lifespans with higher breakdown rates. By embracing our vacuum glazing, you position yourself at the forefront of these advancements.

Glass weight and window design

As energy efficiency requirements increase, manufacturers seek more efficient glass units. However, adding more glass panes and cavities results in a substantial increase in weight per square meter. This weight, combined with the market’s demand for increased glass sightlines and larger pane sizes, poses challenges for manufacture and installation. Ironmongery systems struggle to keep pace with these changes, leading to potential reductions.

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!
