The Vacuum Glazing Network said it is proud to be working in collaboration with The Joinery Network to supply the best performing glazing on the market, in partnership with the high-quality Lignum system.

Passivglas vacuum glazing has emerged as a groundbreaking innovation in the field of window design, that not only enhances the comfort of living spaces, but significantly reduces a buildings carbon footprint.

PassivGlas can offer toughened glass with U-values as low as 0.5W/m2k, with up to 80% light transmittance.

With a 15-year guarantee, PassivGlas is the perfect addition to any frame profile or material. Its super thin profile, starting at 8.15mm through to 10.15mm and 12.15mm, means it can easily be integrated into existing timber frames, or new timber window and door systems.

Timber is rapidly becoming recognised as a sustainable, long lasting frame option for property owners looking to reduce carbon emissions, whilst choosing an excellent energy saving option and keeping the timeless aesthetics, unique only to timber frames.

The Vacuum Glazing Network said the team behind The Joinery Network are fantastic to work with, providing access to a comprehensive list of talented joiners, who manufacture and supply the Lignum range of windows and doors.

They also provide full testing of their products for all of the relevant Building Regulations and offer some solid business advice through ‘The Joinery Hour’ every Friday morning from 8am.
