Introducing FINEO Vacuum Glazing
Revolutionising Sash Window Energy Efficiency
In the ever-evolving world of window technology, we have made a significant stride by adding FINEO Vacuum Glazing to our product offering. This innovation is poised to change the game in energy-efficient window solutions, offering a host of benefits that completely surpass those of standard double-glazed windows.
The collaboration between SashWise and FINEO Vacuum Glazing brings the best of both worlds: the timeless beauty of sash windows and the cutting-edge, energy-saving technology of FINEO glass. Homeowners can now enjoy the benefits of top-quality sash windows that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also with exceptional energy-saving and sustainability benefits.
FINEO Vacuum Glazing: A Breakthrough Technology
FINEO Vacuum Glazing represents a breakthrough in window technology. This pioneering vacuum-insulating glazing not only provides astonishing energy performance, but also combines exceptionally high thermal insulation with impressive noise reduction, outperforming all other ordinary insulating glass. It is also a sustainable investment; not only is it 100% recyclable, it has no inert gases or organic seals which means it will not deteriorate over time and comes with a 15-year guarantee.
At the core of FINEO Vacuum Glazing is the concept of creating a vacuum between two panes of glass. The vacuum cavity serves as a barrier to heat transfer, preventing the exchange of warm indoor air with the colder outdoor environment. It has a slimmer profile than traditional double-glazed windows, maintaining the aesthetic of sash windows while boosting their energy-saving potential.
How FINEO Vacuum Glazing Works
The key components of FINEO Vacuum Glazing are:
Vacuum Cavity:
The heart of this technology is the vacuum cavity itself. By evacuating the air between the panes of glass, FINEO Vacuum Glazing eliminates convection and conduction, the two primary modes of heat transfer. This results in unparalleled thermal insulation and energy efficiency.
Transparent Spacers:
FINEO Vacuum Glazing incorporates transparent spacers that maintain the optimal distance between the glass panes, ensuring structural integrity while allowing maximum light transmission. These spacers are almost invisible to the naked eye, preserving the aesthetics of sash windows.
Low-E Coatings:
To enhance the energy-saving capabilities of FINEO Vacuum Glazing, low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings are applied to the glass. These coatings reduce the amount of heat lost through the glass while allowing natural light to pass through, contributing to a more comfortable living space.
Thinner, lighter and more elegant:
Slim window frames retain their elegance and sophistication when fitted with thin FINEO insulating glass.
Turns your windows into radiators:
Ultra slim FINEO glass has a thermal insulation value of 0.7W(m2.K) which is equivalent to triple glazing, and up to 8 times better than single glazing. Fitting new sash windows with FINEO glazing will transform them into invisible radiators by keeping heat in and cold out.
Energy-Saving Benefits of FINEO Vacuum Glazing
FINEO Vacuum Glazing offers a range of energy-saving benefits that set it apart from standard sash double-glazed windows:
Superior Thermal Insulation:
The vacuum cavity in FINEO Glazing prevents heat from escaping your home during cold winter months and stops outdoor heat from entering during the summer. This remarkable thermal insulation reduces the need for heating and cooling, resulting in lower energy bills.
Reduced Condensation:
Traditional windows are more prone to condensation, which can lead to mould growth and damage to the window frame. FINEO Vacuum Glazing significantly reduces condensation, promoting a healthier indoor environment.
Noise Reduction:
FINEO Vacuum Glazing also acts as a superior sound barrier making your home quieter and more comfortable, even if you live in a noisy urban area. There is a 34% perceived noise reduction compared to single glazing and 18% better than double and triple glazing. Sash windows play a crucial role in maintaining a comfortable indoor environment by preventing heat loss and noise infiltration.
UV Protection:
FINEO glass blocks at least 99% of UV radiation, which helps reduce fading, warping and discoloration of interior furnishings. Slimmer Profiles: FINEO Vacuum Glazing is notably thinner than standard double-glazed windows. This means that homeowners can maintain the traditional aesthetics of sash windows without compromising on energy efficiency.
Preservation of Heritage Buildings:
For historic or heritage homes, FINEO Vacuum Glazing is an excellent choice. It allows you to maintain the architectural integrity of your sash windows while benefiting from modern energy-saving technology.
Durability and Longevity:
The vacuum cavity and advanced materials used in FINEO Vacuum Glazing contribute to its durability and longevity. This results in a lower need for window replacements over the years, reducing maintenance costs.
Reduced Carbon Footprint:
By reducing the energy consumption of your home, FINEO Vacuum Glazing plays a vital role in decreasing your carbon footprint. It is a sustainable choice that aligns with the global push for energy-efficient buildings.
FINEO Vacuum Glazing is a game-changer in the world of sash windows. Its advanced technology, which includes a vacuum cavity, low-E coatings, and transparent spacers, delivers unmatched thermal insulation, noise reduction, and energy efficiency. The benefits of FINEO Vacuum Glazing compared to standard double-glazed windows are clear: lower energy bills, reduced condensation, and enhanced comfort.
Our decision to incorporate FINEO Vacuum Glazing into our product offering is a testament to our dedication to providing homeowners with the best possible window solutions. Whether you’re looking to update the windows in a historic home, reduce your carbon footprint, or simply enjoy a more comfortable and energy-efficient living space, FINEO Vacuum Glazing is a game-changing option that will leave you impressed with the results. It’s a win-win for both aesthetics and energy efficiency, making your home a more beautiful and sustainable place to live.
