Double Glazing Units for Listed Buildings
and Period and Conservation Area Properties
As specialists in slim double glazing for period, conservation and listed properties, we produce durable, high performance double-glazed units from as slim as 11mm.
As standard, our slimline glazing units include Softcoat 1.1 glass as its Low E pane, which is more thermally efficient than traditional hardcoated glass, such as K glass, and it also does not carry the same amount of colour.
Timbalite softcoated slimline double glazed units:
Unit Thickness | Configuration | Centre Pane UV W/m2K | Sightline (+1mm tolerance) |
---|---|---|---|
11mm | 4mm Softcoat 1.1 / 4mm Krypton filled cavity / 3mm Clear | 1.9 W/m2K | 7mm |
12mm | 4mm Softcoat 1.1 / 4mm Krypton filled cavity / 4mm Clear | 1.9 W/m2K | 7mm |
14mm | 4mm Softcoat 1.1 / 6mm Krypton filled cavity / 4mm Clear | 1.4 W/m2K | 8mm |
16mm | 4mm Softcoat 1.1 / 8mm Krypton filled cavity / 4mm Clear | 1.2 W/m2K | 9-10mm |
12mm | 4mm Softcoat 1.1 / 4mm Xenon filled cavity / 4mm Clear | 1.5 W/m2K | 7mm |
14mm | 4mm Softcoat 1.1 / 6mm Xenon filled cavity / 4mm Clear | 1.2 W/m2K | 8mm |
All centre pane U values are based upon calculations by Buildcheck Oracle (UKAS Certified)
Timbalite conservation glazing units are available with either a 4mm or 6mm cavity, with unit thickness from only 11mm and a perimeter seal width of from only 7mm. Some configurations can meet Part L for thermal efficiency when required for period properties.
This enables period property homeowners to benefit enormously from energy efficient, listed building double glazing, whilst replicating the original design of their period windows, including the narrow glazing bars so important to maintaining a truly authentic appearance.
Our thin double glazed units are available in a wide choice of glass types, including acoustic, laminated and reproduction Crown glass, which replicates the uneven reflection of original conservation or listed windows.
Example of conservation glazing detail:
12mm Timbalite slimline glazing unit
Sightline / Seal Depth:
11mm / 12mm unit with 4mm cavity: 7mm sightline (+1mm tolerance)
13mm / 14mm unit with 6mm cavity: 8mm sightline (+1mm tolerance)
These high performance conservation glazing units can be installed to both new and restored traditional listed windows and doors with timber beading or putty line detailing to match the existing.
We use the latest technology warm edge spacer bars in a choice of colours, ensuring they are as thermally efficient as possible and can produce centre pane U values of 1.9 or 1.5 Wm2K on a 4mm gas filled cavity, to as low as 1.4 or 1.2 Wm2K on a 6mm gas filled cavity, depending upon the type of gas fill used.
