Fineo glazing anyone?

[Rishard]

Has anyone come across Fineo glazing? Vacuum insulated glazed units claiming to perform as well as triple glazing. Units are coming in at around 8mm with a 1mm vacuum cavity. 
 

Sounds too good to be true. Curious to see if it is. They are sending me samples this week along with their pricing.

It's by AGC glass, so your good.

Just to add, the units are not 8mm, it is still a double-glazed unit. Fineo vacuum works similar to how laminated glass works. Two panes of glass sandwiched between a lamination layer. Instead of lamination, it is vacuum sealed (0.1mm gap between the two panes). The unit can be 22mm to 34mm.

Hi Craig. The supplier described the unit similar to how you describe. Laminated with a 0.1mm vacuum. The overall lamination being 7.7mm and achieving 0.7uvalue. I imagine they can also be included in a double glazed unit to achieve better uvalues? As always, the facts are never crystal clear. They recommended these for replacement of single glazed panes in traditional sash windows.

Sample arrived today. The pillars are quite clearly visible to the eye from within 2m off the glass. Maybe made worse by the fact they are black… the sample they have sent me does state the 0.7W/m2k and the unit is 7.7mm.
