Providing old buildings with insulation glass in the existing window frames, is it possible? It certainly can! The wood is often still very good and this way you preserve the historic appearance of the monument. AA Glas is an expert in replacing single glass with insulation glass in old buildings and monuments.

The appearance of monumental glass

Home glazing used to be produced in a different way than today. The Belgian Fourcault developed a new way of producing glass around 1920. This involved pulling a sheet of glass with a kind of comb from a melting sheet of glass. Hence old glass is also called "pulled glass. The surface of this glass was not yet as smooth as the later single glass, or float glass, which came on the market from 1960. As a result, you can see a distortion in the pane of this monumental glass, something that we can imitate perfectly in our modern insulation glass for monuments.

The performance of modern insulating glass

Our insulating glass consists of two sheets of glass with a 4 mm cavity between them. This cavity ensures the insulating effect of your monument. In addition to lower energy costs, you experience much better living comfort due to the absence of cold fall. Also, problems with condensation are a thing of the past. With a pane of only 10 mm, we can achieve an insulation value (U-value) of no less than 1.4. By comparison, old-fashioned single-glazing achieves a U-value of 5.8.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace the glass in a listed building?
Yes this is allowed at all times, although it is necessary to apply for a permit. This way you avoid questions from the municipality afterwards. AA Glas can arrange a permit application for you as an extra service. We work with fixed rates and know what the municipalities expect from us, so we can submit the right application.
