Premium Restoration Glass Combined with Advanced Vacuum Glazing Technology
Experience the revolutionary RestoVac – CN Glass's innovative solution that combines traditional restoration glass with cutting-edge vacuum glazing technology.
Designed specifically for period properties, heritage buildings, and restoration projects requiring authentic aesthetics with superior thermal and acoustic performance.
What is RestoVac?
RestoVac is our unique solution that marries the authentic character of restoration glass with the exceptional performance of vacuum glazing technology.
By laminating 3mm restoration glass over vacuum glazing, we've created a product that preserves the distinctive appearance of period windows while delivering modern insulation, security, and comfort.
With a slender profile of approximately 12mm thickness, RestoVac fits seamlessly into existing window frames, making it perfect for conservation areas and listed buildings where maintaining historical appearance is paramount.
The Only Company Offering This Unique Solution
CN Glass is proud to be the first company successfully combining restoration glass with vacuum glazing in this innovative way. Our specialised handcrafted manufacturing process allows us to apply lamination to even the smallest panes – something other manufacturers struggle to achieve.
