Fineo vacuum glazing is the architects choice

Fineo vacuum glazing is perfect for listed buildings, conservation properties & refurbishment projects.

Fineo vacuum glazing provides modern solutions to historical problems

Compared to single glazing, Fineo provides substantial improvements to energy efficiency with an impressive U-value of 0.7 W/m²k. Fineo’s ultra-thin profile (7.7mm) is perfect for retrofitting into existing sash windows – so the original historical frames are maintained.
