CHANGE THE PANES, KEEP THE FRAMES. GLASS RETROFIT AS A SOLUTION TO IMPROVE BUILDINGS PERFORMANCE.

Windows play a central role in optimizing a building’s performance. In fact, they account for 10-20% of heat loss. They also have a key role in insulating against outside noise.

Focusing on the windows is therefore essential to improve the thermal and acoustic insulation of a home or building. This will result in significant savings in heating and an improvement in everyday comfort.

In recent decades, replacing the windows came as an almost automatic response to improving a home’s insulation. Replacing the complete window is indeed very effective, but this is not always possible nor necessary.

Today, thanks to FINEO, an alternative solution exists to a complete replacement of the window. FINEO vacuum insulating glazing is a glass with the same thermal performance as triple glazing but which is 3 to 4 times thinner. Thanks to its thinness, FINEO can easily replace old glazing while keeping the existing window frames. This requires that the existing frames are still in good condition. Replacing the existing glass pane by FINEO offers huge improvements in terms of insulation, while the installation is quick and easy and can be done in less than a day.

This solution is very relevant for listed buildings, where there is the need to preserve the historical appearance of the façade.

Performance goes hand in hand with an improvement in heat and sound for your home. The glass, which is thinner than that of triple glazing, also allows a better transmission of daylight from outside.

Finally, from an environmental point of view, only the glass is changed, and the material is 100% recycled.
There are many FINEO certified installers throughout Europe. Ask to be contacted by one of the FINEO teams to review your project together.
