Pilkington energiKare™ Single/Spacia

Pilkington United Kingdom Ltd

A unique Insulating Glass Unit which provides similar energy efficiency performance as a standard unit, but in a much thinner profile, so it can be used in slim frames - perfect to maintain an older property's original appearance.

The width of single glazing. The warmth of double glazing.

Our revolutionary Pilkington Spacia™ vacuum glazing technology provides unrivalled thermal performance in an ultra-thin unit that fits seamlessly into traditional and conservation properties. With this innovative unit you can retain the aesthetics by using the original frames. Pilkington Spacia™, provides the most advanced new solution for an age-old problem.

How It Works

Pilkington Spacia™ consists of an outer pane of low-emissivity glass and an inner pane of clear float, with a vacuum rather than air or another gas in between. The result is excellent thermal performance from a unit only fractionally as thick as a standard one.
