Join our CPD Roadshow!
Picture the soaring glass of Liverpool Street Station or the brutalist elegance of the Barbican. Upgrading structures like these requires serious engineering rather than standard double glazing.
Find out about a world-leading thermal insulation with U-values as low as 0.4W/m2K, but with profiles easily mistaken for single glazing.
The industry is starting to catch up.
Historic England has approved it in its guidance.
They say, “make something great and people will come”
But that doesn’t seem to be working…
So instead, we’ll come to you!
That is why we are bringing together industry specialists to share practical knowledge, technical insight and real project experience.
And taking this show on the road to visit a heritage hotspot near you!

The Headache of Heritage Retrofitting
Why sacrifice energy efficiency for heritage when you can have both?
Retrofitting older properties is rarely straightforward. Planning officers want original windows preserved at all costs. Building control demands modern thermal performance.
Trying to keep everyone happy usually leads to expensive compromises or rejected planning applications.
We’re ready to cure that headache!
Join us at one of our Vacuum Glazing CPD Roadshow events to discover:
- What is vacuum glazing?
- How is it different to other glazing types?
- How does vacuum glazing perform?
- What makes this the ideal solution for heritage windows?
- Where has vacuum glazing already been approved?
- How are manufacturers and installers incorporating vacuum glazing into their products?

No longer limited to single glazing
“Too often, heritage projects have been limited to single glazing with poor thermal performance or slim double glazing prone to early failure.
Vacuum glazing, has provided a reliable solution. It delivers the authenticity required for strict planning approval alongside the performance needed to meet advanced retrofit targets.
The Mews House project – which achieved an 82% measured energy reduction and airtightness close to 1 m³/m²/hr @ 50Pa – is a prime example of how this approach works in practice.“

Traditional looking modern windows
“The prospect of installing cold and draughty single-glazed windows was just not
acceptable to us. Whilst we were fully committed to maintaining the historic
integrity of our home, we also wanted to benefit from a warm and pleasant
living environment.
We looked at various window types. The thickness of standard double glazing was
definitely out of the question for the planners.
But we then discovered LandVac energy efficient vacuum glazing with a 0.3 mm airgap. For us, these traditional looking, modern windows really did tick all the boxes …so we looked no further!

The most authentic looking single-glazed look
“Of all the replacement window possibilities we explored, we thought that these had the most authentic single-glazed look. We were really impressed by the slimness and performance of the vacuum glazing
We are really pleased with our new windows. They have transformed the external look of the farmhouse, eliminated the draughts we used to put up with, and greatly improved thermal insulation, leaving the house warmer and much more comfortable to live in. The vacuum glazing has also helped make the house a lot quieter, so that the noise from the nearby road is now almost completely eliminated.”
