Edinburgh Royal Observatory is a Grade A listed building located in Edinburgh, Scotland.
FINEO vacuum glazing was chosen to replace the existing single glazing and maintain the historic frames. FINEO is ultra thin and can be easily retrofitted into the original timber frames if they are in good enough condition. It complies with Part L building regulations and can upgrade the warmth and comfort of the building instantly.
Installation of the vacuum glazing was was skilfully carried out by Laurence McIntosh. They oversaw the project from start to finish and ensured that the original window frames were restored and that FINEO was retrofitted to transform the U-value from 5.8W/(m2K) of single glazing to 0.7 W(m2K) of FINEO.
