Vacuum insulated glass (VIG) is the perfect glass for restoration projects

Scott James sash window specialists provide expert solutions to the modern challenge of installing vacuum double glazing to heritage windows.

Your wooden windows were likely masterfully made to hold single-pane glass, which, unfortunately, lets a lot of the heat escape.

Installing new double-glazing into traditional wooden windows requires a sophisticated, modern glazing solution that is durable, ultra-thin, and energy-efficient.

Vacuum glazing slim enough to fit into the original wooden windows’ slender frames, offering durability 15-year guarantee. Vacuum double glazing also boasts high thermal efficiency and lacks an evacuation port.

What is Fineo glass?

Fineo glass is a vacuum-insulated low-e double-glazed unit.

The gap between two glass panes is insulated by a vacuum with low thermal conductivity. This glass is manufactured in partnership between Panasonic and AGC.
