Cornwall Glass Supply and Instal IGU’s for Commercial and Domestic Markets

Our bespoke insulating glass units can be produced with a wide variety of finishes in an almost limitless variety of shapes. We can provide IGUs with Low E coatings to reduce heat loss and enable glazed facades to conform and exceed building regulations. With the addition of a solar control coating, the units we produce also act to reduce solar gain. Our IGUs will also minimise, or eliminate the need for an air conditioning system, reducing running costs of the building and saving energy. All our IGUs are available in a variety of glass types depending on your safety and security requirements, and can be combined with other benefits such as noise control.

Solar Control Glass

Solar Control Glass

Architectural design now includes many building using large areas of glass for facades, glass walkways, atria and conservatories. We carry a comprehensive stock range of solar control glass for use in Solar Controlled Sealed Units. These IGU’s help to minimize solar heat gain while allowing high levels of natural light transmission making a comfortable environment for all inhabitants.

Solar control glass can be used in standard and oversized units and conjunction with other processes such as lamination for roof lanterns and floor glass.

For use in commercial and residential installations solar control glass is a major consideration when choosing glass types for any project.

Secondary Glazing

 Secondary Glazing discretely sits inside the existing window unit allowing the original features to remain. A bespoke insulation and external noise reduction alternative for properties where Heritage Range isn’t suitable, secondary glazing allows you create a warm, secure and peaceful environment in small listed homes and large commercial listed and historical properties.

  • Noise Reduction – With well fitted secondary glazing noise reduction can be more effective than standard double glazing, reducing noise pollution by up to 80%
  • Thermal Insulation – The secondary glazing provides an insulation layer of air that can with the right glass reduce heat loss by 65%
  • Security – Security is important for home and business owners alike and secondary glazed units are extremely difficult to open from the outside giving, you peace of mind for a safe and secure property.

Types of Secondary Glazing

Westcountry Heritage Sealed Units

white sliding windows and brick house

West Country Heritage units have been designed and developed at our Plymouth location, purpose built factory in Langage. Offering a modern solution to an old problem; these super slim units provide excellent performance without compromising on appearance.

These Heritage IGU’s have been produced for use in listed and period properties offering an authentic appearance with slim sightlines and narrow unit cavities that will compliment listed properties and historic buildings with restoration and replication requirements.  Heritage, slimfit, double glazed units sympathetically provide the benefits of double glazing to older properties without compromising the aesthetics and are produced to clients exact requirements for supply only and supply and fit (where this service is available).

The table below shows all the variants for the Heritage range. Units are produced to individual design and specification. Heat loss from buildings is measured by a U value and is expressed in W/m2k. The lower the U value the better the insulation provided by the relevant material. As a comparison, the U value for a typical pane of single glazing is 5.8.

PLEASE NOTE ALL OUR HERITAGE UNITS ARE GUARANTEED FOR 2 YEARS SUBJECT TO CORRECT GLAZING INSTALLATION  AS PER OUR GUIDELINES. EXCLUDES BREAKAGES
