Window Glazing for Listed Buildings
The acceptable alternative to single glazing for Listed Buildings and Conservation areas.
With energy costs continuing to rise and ever growing concerns about the environment we are faced with difficult decisions with regard to listed buildings, saving energy and retaining the tradition look of the building.
In order to meet the needs of this challenge we have launched our own 12mm thick double glazed units. They have a black warm edge spacer bar, energy reflective coatings and various options with regard to gas filling.

We can offer U values from 2.5 to 1.5 and whilst still above the requirements of Part L of The Building Regulations at 1.8 it is a huge leap forward from single glazing at 5.4, a U value is the amount of energy lost per square metre per degree C per year so a 1.8 U value with 20 degree difference is loosing 36 watts per hour, a 5.4 u value is loosing 108 watts per hour.
The big advantage for critical applications such as Listed buildings is that it has the appearance of single glazing and will not detract from the buildings overall appearance, we have now installed our range of Enviro glazing into a number of Listed buildings with full Planning Approval and both the Historical Officers and Planning Officers have been very pleased with the results.
