Preserve the charm of your period windows whilst improving your comfort with better insulation!
Upgrade the sash windows in your home for better insulation and comfort with
BENGglas/Landvac
Your period home is full of charm, but let’s face it, your original sash or casement windows probably aren’t pulling their weight. Most original, period windows have single-pane glass, which will leave your home feeling cold, drafty, noisy, and extremely expensive to heat.
One of the biggest challenges with period homes is finding glass that fits seamlessly into original window frames, particularly in period and listed buildings. Meanwhile double and triple-glazing is too thick to insert into original sash and casement windows, so sometimes the only option is to replace the original windows entirely.
BENGglas/Landvac glass is incredibly slim. In fact, it’s slim enough to use use in historic and period windows! So you don’t have to replace your original period windows to enjoy modern comfort with glass that’s more effective than triple-glazing!
So whilst BENGglas/Landvac is the best glass for any home, it is the most suitable alternative, by far, for windows in period homes.
Why BENGglas/Landvac is the best glass for period homes
1. The best insulation
Traditional sash and casement windows use single-glazing, which isn’t effective at insulating a home and keeping it warm.
BENGglas/Landvac is vacuum glass with a u-value of 0.5, making it the most effective insulating glass on the market, and will help keep your home warm on cold winter days.
2. The slimmest vacuum glass
At only 8.3mm, versus 14mm-24mm for double-glazing, and 28mm-36mm for triple-glazing BENGglas/Landvac is the ideal glass for period windows.
As many original and replica sash and casement windows are only large enough for single-glazing, BENGglas/Landvac can fit seamlessly into traditional sash and casement windows.
3. Save money on your windows
In the past, when homeowners wanted to improve the insulation in their home by upgrading their windows, the entire original windows needed to be replaced due to the inadequate thickness of double and triple-glazing.
With BENGglas/Landvac, you do not need to replace your entire, beautiful, original windows to enjoy modern comfort. You just need to upgrade them with slim, energy-efficient vacuum glass that’s as elegant as it is effective!
