We are delighted to be working with Energlaze who are bringing a new slim glazing product to the market in Ireland: Fineo glazing. It is one of the range of glazing options available at Timeless Sash Windows for fitting in your windows.
AGC glass in Belgium manufacture Fineo’s new glazing technology. Interestingly, Fineo combines Panasonic display-related expertise together with AGC’s skill in glazing. The result is an extremely thin unit that is compatible with most fine glazing bars. Furthermore, as there are no inert gases, it will not deteriorate over time.
Fineo glass is a thin, vacuum-insulated glazing unit. This technology offers impressive thermal insulatioin combined with noise reduction, unrivaled sustainability and elegant, classical aesthetics.
Historic and Conservation Sash Windows
Fineo is ideal for retrofitting into timber sash windows, particularly older windows with fine glazing bars that cannot hold the thicker section of some double glazing units.
Sustainability
The Fineo glazing units are 100% recyclable. Additionally, they are made in Europe, reducing long travel times from distant destinations.
The energy saving that you experience from superior windows will bring savings in the use of fossil fuels as well as reducing your monthly bills.

AGC Glass Europe
In conclusion, award winning AGC have this to say “Produced in the company’s Lodelinsart plant (Belgium), Fineo has thermal insulation performance equal to that of triple glazing, and even better in terms of acoustic insulation. However, its thickness (less than 1 cm) is a fifth to a quarter that of triple glazing units of the same dimensions, while its weight is one third lighter. The thinness of the vacuum glass additionally gives it better light transmission. Finally, it’s aesthetic finishing is unrivalled on the market.” AGC Glass Europe

I wish to replace the shop section on the right but want to keep my mahogany frames- noise and heat are the problems for me. Also I have read that putting new glazing into old frames may have leaks???
Can you advise me please
