Pilkington energiKareTM Legacy provides a similar level of energy efficiency as modern double glazing, but in a unit that is typically only a quarter of the thickness. This brings a new level of thermal performance to older buildings, and opportunities for slim glazing in new buildings.

• The thermal performance of modern double glazing in the same thickness as single glass, offering the opportunity to improve energy efficiency in older traditional buildings.
• A cost effective method of improving the energy efficiency of older homes where glazing choice is restricted or where the original frames are a desirable feature.
• Pilkington provide an extended warranty to your installer. Ask your installer for maintenance guidelines.
• Four times better thermal insulation than single glazing, meaning lower heating bills.
• Suitable as a replacement for single-glazing in original frames, to retain the appearance of older traditional buildings and meet the requirements of conservation areas.
• Suitable for other applications where use of thinner, low weight glazing is desirable, such as sliding box sashes.
• Greater comfort, as cold spots close to the window are reduced.
• Offers good acoustic performance for lower interior noise levels.
• A range of non-rectangular shapes, for flexibility with original frames.
• Proven solution; successfully used in Japan for over a decade.
• Offers reduced levels of internal condensation compared to single glazing.
