CUIN glazing

[m0deller]

Has anyone got experience of CUIN glazing , I think from https://www.crystalunits.com/cuin/ ?

 

We're talking to a window supplier (sliding doors) and they've suggested using CUIN to reduce Uw. It double glazing that offers near triple glazing performance. 1.6 > 1.2 Uw.

TBH reading that it majors on the “environmental factors” and there is no indication as to how long this will last or why it’s better than DG or TG..? You can get Argon filled DG with low-E coatings at near 1.3 so their numbers are way off. I’d like to see some real data about how robust these are.

From their website it does look like it has been spec'd on some credible projects.  Down to price v. alternatives for required performance I guess.

Just giving this old thread a bump as one of the suppliers we're talking to has also suggested using this product.  This in theory being an easier way to achieve u-values of 1.2 or less to meet SAP, without spending lots more on triple-glazed windows from the European manufacturers like Internorm.  Has anyone had any experience of using this or anything similar?  C.U.In Glass : Eco-Friendly Glazing for Your Home or Commercial Project (cuin.glass)

If they’re suggesting that, then the system must have really poor performance and changing the glass ain’t going to do shit tbh.

 

A shit frame is still a shit frame.
