The Vacuum Glazing Network Ltd

Looking to future-proof their home and improve energy efficiency, the homeowners upgraded their windows with vacuum glazing. They previously had A-rated double glazing on the weather-exposed side and standard double glazing at the rear. The results have been impressive. Over a five month period from November to February, they recorded a 19% reduction in gas consumption, measured in kilowatt hours, indicating genuine energy savings. Crucially, the home’s internal temperature has remained consistently high without increased energy use. Noise reduction has also been significant. Located on a road with regular traffic, the front room, where the couple spend their evenings, is noticeably quieter. Just as wind noise from the estuary-facing rear have also been reduced

The Vacuum Glazing Network was proud to partner with the Diocese of Salford to deliver a ground breaking energy efficiency upgrade at St Winifred’s School in Stockport. As part of the Diocese’s decarbonisation programme, we installed our revolutionary PassivGlas™ vacuum glazing into a wing of the school, replacing outdated and inefficient windows. There was a need for change as the existing windows at St Winifred’s School were no longer fit for purpose. The aging fixtures provided poor insulation, causing significant temperature fluctuations in the classrooms - uncomfortably hot in the summer and excessively cold in the winter. Additionally, external noise pollution led to disruption the of learning and concentration, affecting both students and teachers. PassivGlas™ vacuum glazing was chosen as it offered exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation, addressing these critical issues by: ● Enhancing energy efficiency: Retaining heat in winter, reducing the school’s heating costs. ● Preventing summer overheating: Keeping classrooms cool and comfortable. Removing the need for an air conditioning solution. ● Minimising external noise: Creating a quieter and more focused learning environment. ● Contributing to sustainability: Aligning with the Diocese of Salford’s commitment to reducing carbon footprints in educational institutions.
