NOW AVAILABLE: REGENCY TRIPLE FEATURING CORNING ® ENLIGHTEN TM GLASS

AUGUST 2026 // ISSUE 161 PROINSTALLER. CO. UK FREE
Regency Glass has officially launched its next-generation triple-glazed unit, Regency Triple ® featuring Corning ® Enlighten™ Glass, now available to customers nationwide.
Following a successful transition to its new 420,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility at Omega Business Park in Warrington, the company is bringing to market a product that redefines what triple glazing can achieve in practical, real-world applications.
A New Standard for Triple Glazing in the UK
Triple glazing has long been positioned as the pinnacle of thermal performance. However, in the UK market, widespread adoption has been limited by well-known challenges: excessive weight, increased unit thickness, and compatibility issues with existing window systems.
Regency Triple ® has been engineered specifically to remove these barriers.
Developed in collaboration with Corning Incorporated, a global leader in glass and materials science, the unit features Corning ® Enlighten™ Glass as its middle pane. At just 0.5mm thick, this advanced Boro-aluminosilicate glass enables a triple-glazed configuration that is significantly thinner and lighter than conventional alternatives. The result is a high-performance triple-glazed unit that fits
seamlessly within a standard 28mm cavity, something previously unattainable in the UK replacement window market.
Performance Without Compromise
Regency Triple ® delivers exceptional thermal efficiency while maintaining the practicality required by fabricators and installers:
• 0.8 W / m ². K U-value in a 28mm cavity
• 0.6 W / m ². K in a 36mm cavity
• Up to 0.5 W / m ². K from 40mm cavity and above
Despite this performance, the unit is only 5 % heavier than a standard double-glazed unit and up to 30 % lighter than conventional triple glazing, dramatically improving handling, installation efficiency, and compatibility with existing frames and hardware.
This balance of performance and usability ensures Regency Triple ® can be adopted at scale across retrofit, renovation, and new-build projects without requiring costly system changes.
