21st century glass technology into aesthetically appropriate double glazed units
We’re all familiar with the age-old problem of how to consistently incorporate 21st Century glass technology into aesthetically appropriate double glazed units for traditional and historic or listed properties. It’s an issue our industry has grappled with for decades and something highlighted by the GGF who draw attention to the lack of specific test evidence available to date for IGUs constructed with narrow cavities and reduced sightlines. With an 8.5mm sightline, it is the perfect option for those seeking a low sightline, alongside units that are made to the highest quality. Available in spacer sizes of 4mm, 6mm and 8mm in either dark brown or silver with white also available in 6mm and 8mm versions.
Our product comes with a five-year guarantee, which is valid when glazed in accordance with strict glazing and maintenance guidelines and is limited to the supply only of replacement units. Please refer to the glazing guidelines.
The H1 Glazing System is recommended for use where a sole glazing material is required to provide a back bedding material, perimeter fill and putty
front without the need for multiple products.
The H5 Glazing System is recommended for glazing where a paintable and elastic bedding compound is required and a traditional putty type will be used to provide a putty front fillet..
The H7 Glazing System is recommended for use where a sole paintable material is required to provide a glazing compound for bead glazing single glass or Insulating Glass Units (IGU).

Manufactured with the highest performing soft coat glasses on the market with either Argon or Krypton Gas, CS units can achieve U-values as low as 1.8 W/m2k with a 4mm Cavity and 1.1 W/m2k with an 8mm Cavity.
