Certificate type
Two glass panes with a micro-thin vacuum gap in between, a warm edge spacer bar, and an additional pane of glass, to form a gas free unit in standard profiles from 20 mm and upwards.
For retrofitting into both new and existing frames to bring windows up to Future Homes Standards.
PassivGlas™ Ultimate is an advanced fenestration technology that involves creating a highly insulating retrofit unit by enclosing a PassivGlas™ VIG with a thermally broken spacer bar airgap and the addition of a fully toughened glass.
Unlike traditional double-glazed windows, PassivGlas™ Ultimate use air alongside the VIG, to further minimize heat and acoustic transfer through the unit.
