Histoglass Glazing Systems

We supply various glazing systems for the restoration of historic buildings. Histoglass is designed to be installed into existing timber and metal frames without altering the fine detailing of the glazing bars.

Histoglass Thin Double Glazing is the only product of its kind to fully comply with BS EN 1279 (parts 1-6). It is covered by a 7 year manufacturers warranty. The systems are available in a wide range of thicknesses and glass types to suit the age of a building, each with differing thermal and acoustic insulation properties.

Histoglass Thin Double Glazing is available from 10mm and, depending on the spacer bar width, achieves a U-value of 1.9 - 1.3.

Histoglass MONO Systems were specifically developed to fit into rebates where even thin double glazing is not an option. MONO RT+ was developed with an eye on Georgian frames as the 4mm system will always fit into any existing rebate.

The glass types below are all compatible with our thin double glazing systems and please have a look on the MONO System pages to see which glass types are available.
