A "6 over 9" sash window refers to a traditional design where the upper sash contains six panes of glass, and the lower sash has nine panes. This style is often associated with period properties, particularly Georgian architecture, where smaller panes were used due to the limitations of glassmaking at the time.

The SuperConservation collection of ultra-high-performance vacuum-glazed timber windows is an ideal choice for extensions, renovations in Conservation areas, and replacement windows and doors. With an impressive ultra-low U-value of 0.5W/m²K and standard acoustic performance of 36dB, this collection is a true masterpiece. It offers customers the perfect timber windows for their homes, all while preserving the essential single-glazed aesthetic.

"Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort." – John Ruskin

Quality hinges play a crucial role in the functionality and durability of our windows. Here's why they matter:

Smooth Operation: High-quality hinges ensure that windows open and close effortlessly, reducing wear and tear over time.

Longevity: Durable hinges resist rust, corrosion, and mechanical failure, extending the overall lifespan of the window.

Structural Integrity: Strong hinges provide support, maintaining the alignment and stability of the window, especially for heavier designs like timber or double-glazed units.

Safety: Robust hinges enhance security by preventing forced entry or compromising the locking mechanisms.

Energy Efficiency: Properly fitted hinges ensure a tight seal, minimizing drafts and improving thermal insulation.

Sustainability is deep rooted in our processes. That is why SuperConservation vacuum-glazed timber windows and doors may be an answer to reducing the carbon footprint.

Sustainable materials are essential for creating a more environmentally friendly and resilient future. Here's why:

Environmental Protection: They help reduce resource depletion, minimize waste, and lower carbon emissions during production and disposal, which supports the health of our planet.

Energy Efficiency: Many sustainable materials, like insulation made from natural fibers, contribute to energy conservation by improving thermal performance in buildings.

Durability: These materials often have longer lifespans, reducing the need for frequent replacements and conserving resources over time.

Social Responsibility: Sustainable materials support ethical practices, such as fair labor conditions and preserving ecosystems, fostering a sense of global responsibility.

Economic Benefits: By investing in sustainable materials, industries can reduce operational costs through efficient resource use and appeal to eco-conscious consumers.

Using sustainable materials is a key step toward combatting climate change and building a greener world.

Our SuperConservation collection of ultra-high-performance vacuum-glazed timber windows and doors is a versatile choice, seamlessly fitting properties of all types—from charming rural cottages to modern new-build stately homes. Ideal for those prioritizing ultra-high energy efficiency, it combines the aesthetic appeal of a single-glazed look with sleek, slim window profiles. This range has rapidly gained popularity among architects, thanks to its adaptability in meeting the ever-increasing demands of SAP calculations.

Vacuum glass with a low U-value offers significant flexibility in SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) calculations, which are used to evaluate the energy performance of buildings. Here's how it contributes:

Improved Thermal Efficiency: Low U-value vacuum glass minimizes heat transfer, enhancing the building's overall thermal performance. This can positively impact SAP calculations by reducing energy demand for heating and cooling.

Flexibility in Design Choices: Incorporating vacuum glass with low U-values allows designers to balance other elements, such as wall insulation and glazing specifications, while still meeting energy efficiency standards.

Compliance with Regulations: Vacuum glass can help achieve compliance with building regulations, such as Part L in the UK, which focuses on conservation of fuel and power
