Fineo glass vacuum double glazing is one of the market leaders of vacuum insulated double glazing in the UK, when it comes to upgrading single-glazed windows to double-glazing.
Because of it thin profile, it’s the perfect for double glazing original wooden windows in Grade II listed buildings or homes where owners would like to keep old window frames in place to retain the charm of their house.
The image shows a side-by-side comparison of a thermal snapshot and a standard photograph of a house, demonstrating the effectiveness of FINEO glass in reducing heat loss.
The image highlights the difference in thermal performance between FINEO glass and single-glazed windows, making the heat retention capabilities of FINEO glass visually clear.
The answer is both yes and no. While vacuum-insulated double glazing technology has been around for at least the past 10 years, FINEO glass was unique at the time of its launch.
It introduced VIG glazing units with a perfect market fit for the UK, featuring no evacuation post and a low sightline.
FINEO glass is also unique in Europe as it is the only company producing VIG glazing units locally, whereas many companies in China and Japan have been manufacturing VIG units for public use for many years.
In this test, we evaluated the heat retention properties of FINEO glass.
On the left, you can see our setup, where we framed a FINEO glass pane and insulated the surrounding area with polystyrene to ensure that only the glass was being tested. A heat source was placed behind the glass to simulate indoor heating, allowing us to measure how well the glass prevents heat from escaping.
On the right, the thermal image shows the results. The frame around the glass is glowing brightly, indicating significant heat transfer, but the FINEO glass itself remains much cooler, demonstrating its exceptional ability to retain heat. This confirms the high thermal insulation performance of FINEO glass, with minimal heat loss compared to standard glazing.
With superior glass technology, Fineo removed the air between the glass panes to create a vacuum instead of filling the space with gas, as is standard double-glazed units.
Although this vacuum does the same job as the gas by keeping the heat inside your home, it can not evaporate and totally disappear after about five years as gas normally does.
This is what makes Fineo a more reliable option and a long-term investment when it comes to retrofitting your windows with heritage double glazing.
FINEO VIG glass offers several advantages over standard double or triple glazing. Its key benefits include U-values as low as 0.7 W/m²K. Despite its excellent insulation properties, FINEO glass is ultra-thin (less than 10 mm), making it ideal for restoration projects like the ones we specialize in.
The glazing units feature a low-e coating, which helps to improve energy efficiency without significantly reducing light transmission, ensuring bright, naturally lit spaces.
Another important advantage is its durability. FINEO VIG glazing units are built to last longer than traditional glazing, providing consistent performance and greater resilience over time.
We don’t sell FINEO glass; we are an independent installer, not affiliated with any VIG glazing brand. We only install it into original wooden frames. You can purchase this brand of vacuum-insulated double glazing from vacuum glazing distributor.
Yes, there are several alternatives to FINEO glass, but the second most popular choice for vacuum double glazing is LandVac.
