What is Fineo?
Fineo is a vacuum insulated double-glazing created by AGC in conjunction with Panasonic. It consists of two sheets of glass, each as little as 3mm thick with a vacuum gap of 1mm between them. The vacuum creates excellent thermal insulation.
Will Fineo help reduce the acoustic levels of perceived noise outside?
Yes, Fineo has excellent acoustic properties. It can provide a received improvement of 34% when compared to single glazing and 18% when compared to double and triple glazing.
If I live in a protected building can I retrofit Fineo into the existing timber frames?
Yes. Fineo’s advanced vacuum insulated technology means that it is only 6.7mm thick and therefore can be retrofitted easily into all timber sash window frames, especially those of delicate period or conservation / heritage buildings.
