The U-value indicates the thermal insulation value of a product (here vacuum glass). The lower the U-value of a product, the better this product insulates. BENGglas has the lowest U-value in the world out of all types of insulating glass (U=0.4) and thus offers the best thermal insulation.
BENGglas is the only vacuum glass in the world that is fully toughened. The advantages of this are that it is 5x stronger than (regular) untempered glass, there is no risk of thermal breakage and it is injury safe.
BENGglas vacuum glass is always tempered and therefore injury-safe. With safety glass, only small pieces of glass will fall down when broken. These small pieces cannot cause serious injury.
To prevent the glass plates from being pressed against each other due to the vacuum, microscopic spacers have been placed over the entire glass surface.
BENGglas has the smallest and fewest spacers of all brands and available types of vacuum insulating glass.
The noise reduction value is dB=36.
Regular sound-reducing glass is very thick and therefore does not fit in every type of frame. If you are looking for sound-insulating glass and it also needs to be thin, there is only 1 possible solution and that is vacuum glass.
There is no decrease in U-value over the years – it remains at 0.4. Even if the glass is placed at an angle, there is no loss of insulation value.
Outdated insulating glass has a high U-value (insulation value), which could cause condensation to form on the inside of the glass. Because the U-value has been greatly improved, condensation will only occur on the outside during the ‘condensation’ season. This has no disturbing effect and does not damage the panel.
Compared to traditional forms of insulating glass, BENGglas has an insulation value that is many times better. In fact, with its U-value of 0.4, BENGglas offers the best insulating glass in the world.
BENGglas is the only brand that supplies its insulating glass with tempering as standard and is very competitively priced compared to ordinary vacuum glass. Moreover, BENGglas has fewer and smaller spacers than its competitors.
The initial investment of BENGglas is higher than with traditional insulating glass or triple glazing. But due to the much better insulation value – which does NOT fall back over the years – you will quickly earn it back. The payback period will of course depend on energy prices, which will certainly rise in the future.
The exact price of BENGglas will depend on the thickness, size, installation height, etc. We can provide you with a quote after an initial assessment of your house or project.

BENGglas has an insulation value that is many times better than traditional forms of insulating glass. In fact, BENGglas offers – with its U-value of 0.4 – the best insulating glass in the world.
BENGglas is the only supplier of vacuum glass to offer its glass standard as tempered and is very competitively priced. Furthermore, BENG glass has fewer and smaller spacers than its competitors.
BENGglas starts with a thickness of 6.3mm, rising to 20.3mm in total. Further thickening with e.g. insulation glass is possible.
Yes, with 1, 2 or 3 slanted sides, triangles, circles, arches, etc. What is not possible are curved panels.
Yes. BENGglas fits perfectly into old window frames because it is very thin (from 6.3mm). However, BENGglas is also an excellent product for new buildings with wooden, plastic or aluminium window frames.
The smallest size of BENG glass is 300 x 300mm. Smaller is possible if 1 side is larger than 300mm.
The largest vacuum glass size available is 1750 x 3000mm.
The larger the glass surface, the thicker the glass structure will be.
In addition to the standard version, there are options for extra-clear, extra-sunproof, frosted and laminated tempered vacuum glass. A dirt-resistant coating can also be applied as an option.
BENGglas has 4 types of vacuum glass in its range: BENGglas BASIC, BENGglas, BENGglas PRO and BENGglas+.
BENGglas and BENGglas+ have a cap in the bottom corner. BENGglas BASIC and BENGglas PRO do not have this.
Because the tempered vacuum glass is extremely thin (from 6.3mm), it is an excellent product for renovation. You use your old window frames and only need to exchange the old glass for BENGglas. In this way, you can provide your period house or building with extremely good insulating glass.
BENGglas has a warranty period of 15 years, a tested lifespan of 25 years and an expected lifespan of 50 years. In comparison, traditional insulating glass warranties are generally for a term of only 10 years.
