THE UNIQUE ADVANTAGES OF BENGglas®

The best insulation value on the market: U=0.40*

A U-value of 0.40 for glass is known to be one of the best on the market as it indicates that the glass is very efficient at preventing heat loss. Modern insulating glazing with multiple layers of glass and insulating gas minimizes thermal conduction, reducing energy costs and improving comfort in buildings.

* U-value based on 'Evidence of Performance' (IFT Rosenheim, 2016) for type 'BENGglas®' with double coating.

Quiet living: -36 dB

The vacuum creates a minimum of conduction from the inside to the outside and vice versa. This not only creates a very good insulation value, but also a very good noise reduction. Normally, very thick glass is needed to achieve noise reduction with insulating glass. This is not the case with vacuum glass. Even in the thinnest version, a reduction of -36 dB is achieved. This value can go up to -39 dB in a layered version.

Tempered as standard

Hardening has several advantages:

• The occurrence of a thermal break is excluded.
• It is five times stronger than untempered glass of the same thickness.
• Official safety glass; can therefore be glazed to the ground (very suitable for e.g. schools).

For regular insulating glass, toughening is an additional cost; at BENGglas® this is included as standard in the price.

Fits in existing window frames

This allows you to save on new (heavier & more expensive) hinges and locks and new window frames. You also retain the authentic features of your home or building.

15 year warranty

BENGglas® gives a 15-year warranty on its products. For regular insulating glass, this warranty period is limited to only 10 years.

Expected lifespan: up to 50 years

There is also no degradation of the U-value with vacuum glass. This does happen with regular insulating glass.

Large dimensions: 2000 x 3000 mm

All vacuum glass products have micro spacers. These prevent the outer leaf and inner leaf from touching each other due to the suction effect of the vacuum. It is advisable to view a sample window at one of the BENGglas® dealers .
