A Lighter and More Efficient Solution
Corning’ s architectural glass is set to transform the UK windows industry, delivering an unparalleled triple glazing solution that is up to 9 kg lighter per square metre. This reduced weight equates to a 30 % decrease from conventional triple-glazed units and only a 5 % increase on conventional double-glazed units, making installation easier and safer while maintaining superior durability and performance.
Through ongoing testing and regulatory reviews, Regency Glass anticipates center-of-glass U-values for triple-glazed units incorporating Corning’ s architectural glass in the range of 0.7 to 0.9 W / m ²/ K for a standard 28 mm unit, ensuring enhanced energy efficiency for consumers by up to 35 % compared to current 28 mm offerings. Full testing results and compliance updates will be shared in due course.
