Pilkington Spacia™
A unique Insulating Glass Unit which provides similar energy efficiency performance as a standard unit, but in a much thinner profile, so it can be used in slim frames - perfect to maintain an older property's original appearance.
Benefits
Pilkington Spacia™ offers following benefits:
- the world’s first commercially available vacuum glazing,
- this extremely thin glazing can be fitted in old style fine frames, maintaining the original appearance of older traditional buildings whilst providing good thermal insulation,
- thermal performance equal to or better than that of most low-e double glazing but in the same thickness as single glass,
- offers the opportunity to improve energy efficiency in historic buildings hence reduce heating bills,
- four times better thermal insulation than single glazing,
- 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’,
- offers good acoustic performance for lower noise,
- proven solution; installed successfully in the UK and the Netherlands and used in Japan for over a decade,
- offers reduced levels of internal condensation compared to single glazing.
