Heritage Trade Frames is set to become one of the first UK trade fabricators to introduce the next generation of glazing with the revolutionary Regency Triple featuring Corning® Enlighten™ Glass. Lee Darcy, Head of Sales and Marketing at Heritage Trade Frames, said: “We’re proud to be leading the way in bringing this innovation from Regency Glass and Corning Incorporated to our customers. Regency Triple offers all the advantages of triple glazing without the traditional limitations. It has the potential to transform glazing in the UK and unlock major opportunities for our customers, particularly in the domestic replacement and social housing refurbishment sectors.”
Unlike conventional triple glazing, which typically requires 44mm or more to achieve the best thermal values, the revolutionary Regency Triple featuring Corning® Enlighten™ Glass can achieve a 0.9W/m² overall frame U-value in a 36mm unit.
Remarkably, it is just 5% heavier than a conventional double-glazed unit, removing the transport, handling, installation and hardware challenges that have historically held back triple glazing. Because it can be specified in both 28mm and 36mm units, it works with standard 70mm profiles, making it a viable option for a far wider range of projects including domestic refurbishment, social housing and commercial new build without the need for new specifications elsewhere in the window contract.
Lee commented: “Thermal efficiency remains in the spotlight across the industry. Triple glazing has always been the best solution to increasing the thermal efficiency of glazing, but it has never been a realistic option – until now.”
Developed by Regency Glass, a UK leader in glass manufacturing and supply, in collaboration with Corning Incorporated, Regency Triple uses a centre pane made from Corning® Enlighten™ Glass. At just 0.5mm thick, it delivers exceptional strength and performance while keeping the overall weight of the unit to a minimum.
Established in 1989 and now one of the North West’s leading trade fabricators, Heritage Trade Frames has built its reputation on reassuring longevity combined with a commitment to keeping its customers at the cutting edge. By being one of the first fabricators to introduce triple glazing using Regency Triple featuring Corning® Enlighten™️ Glass, it’s taking its reputation for being at the forefront of the industry to the next level.
