The Vacuum Glazing Network Ltd

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programme, we installed our revolutionary PassivGlas™ vacuum glazing into a wing of the school, replacing outdated and inefficient windows.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.
