Certificate type
Two glass panes with a micro-thin vacuum gap in between, laminated to a fully toughened glass using an EVA interlayer. Tested to EN 356:1999 (BS EN 356:2000) to achieve P1A classification.
Application
For retrofitting into both new and existing frames to bring windows up to Future Homes Standards with additional security benefits of P1A classification.
Description
PassivGlas™ Linear laminate is an advanced fenestration technology that involves creating a highly insulating retrofit unit by laminating PassivGlas™ vacuum insulated glazing (VIG) with an EVA interlayer and a fully toughened additional glass leaf.
Unlike traditional double-glazed windows, PassivGlas™ Linear laminate adds security alongside the benefits of minimize heat and acoustic transfer through the unit.
Features and benefits:
- PassivGlas™ Linear laminate can be manufactured into unit thickness of 13.65 mm and upwards, to be utilized into existing frames, allowing endless retrofit possibilities.
- Offers reduced U-values to as low as 0.50 W/m²K, whilst maintaining up to 77% light transmittance.
- The minimum glass unit thickness available in PassivGlas™ Linear laminate is 13.65 mm with a weight of 31.5 kg/m².
- PassivGlas™ Linear laminate can achieve an Rw: 36 dB (UKAS accredited).
- PassivGlas™ Linear laminate can comply with Building Regulations Approved Documents Q, O, E and L.
- PassivGlas™ Linear laminate is suitable for existing frames which are in perfect working order, but require an enhanced overall thermal and acoustic performance.
- Can be leaded to match existing or new designs.
- Free solar energy, leading to lower energy consumption.
- No evacuation port to impede view.
- Appearance of monolithic glass.
Overall frame U-values as low as:
- Aluminium 0.8 W/m²K.
- Steel (thermally broken) 1.2 W/m²K .
- Timber 0.78 W/m²K.
- PVC-U 1.0 W/m²K.
