Vacuum glass is a revolutionary innovation in the world of glass insulation, with high insulation value and the ability to fit into existing window frames. Although it has a higher price tag, it offers numerous benefits that make it a worthwhile investment for both old and new buildings. So if you want to keep your current window frames while maximizing insulation, vacuum glass is definitely worth considering.
When considering vacuum glass for your project, there are some important factors to keep in mind.
- First, although the glass is more expensive than traditional options, the benefits in terms of insulation and soundproofing are significant. In addition, the weight and thickness of the glass is much less, making it easy to install in existing window frames without expensive and time-consuming modifications.
- Second, although the "pillars" in the glass may be an aesthetic drawback to some, they are essential to the function of the glass. Without these pillars, air pressure would push the glass sheets together and destroy the insulating properties of the glass.
- Third, if you are considering installing vacuum glass in a listed building or an older home, you may need permission from local authorities. It is always advisable to check this before starting the project.
