Does FINEO glass reduce noise?

FINEO Glass Window Installation Across the UK

Q: Is FINEO only for older or listed properties?

No. FINEO is suitable for both heritage and modern homes. It provides high thermal performance, slim sightlines and excellent comfort for a wide range of property types.

Q: Will I notice a difference in warmth?

Yes. FINEO offers thermal performance comparable to triple glazing, helping to reduce heat loss, cold spots and draughts so rooms feel warmer and more comfortable.

Q: How long does FINEO last?

FINEO glazing is backed by a 20-year product guarantee and is designed for a long service life when installed correctly.

Q: Is FINEO more expensive than standard double glazing?

FINEO is a premium, high-performance product, but it can often be installed into existing frames, which may reduce overall project costs compared with full window replacement. Henley Glass provides clear, itemised quotes with no obligation.

Installed by Henley Glass – trusted glazing specialists based in Henley-on-Thames and serving homeowners across the UK.

Whether you live in a character cottage, period townhouse or modern family home, FINEO vacuum insulating glass gives you the comfort of triple glazing in a slim, elegant unit that can often be fitted into your existing frames.

Warmer, quieter, clearer – without changing the look you love.

Turn Your Windows into Invisible Radiators

FINEO glass has an outstanding U-value of around 0.7 W/m²K, comparable to high-performance triple glazing and dramatically better than old single glazing. In simple terms:

Your rooms stay warmer for longer.
Cold spots and draughts are reduced.
Your heating doesn’t have to work as hard.

When FINEO is fitted into suitable existing frames, your windows effectively become “invisible radiators” – keeping warmth in and cold out while still looking like your original windows.

What Is FINEO Vacuum Insulating Glass?

FINEO is an advanced type of vacuum insulating glass (VIG) developed by AGC. It uses two panes of glass with a microscopic vacuum gap between them. That vacuum is extremely effective at stopping heat escaping, so you get triple-glazing performance in a much slimmer and lighter unit.

For homeowners across the UK, this means you can often upgrade performance without bulky frames or a full window replacement.

Key Facts at a Glance

Total thickness from around 7.7 mm (far slimmer than typical double or triple glazing).
Thermal performance around 0.7 W/m²K (equivalent to many triple-glazed units).
Significantly lighter than triple glazing, kinder to existing frames.
Excellent noise reduction for a quieter home.
20-year product guarantee and an expected lifespan of around 60 years.
100% recyclable, lead-free, manufactured in Europe.

Everyday Benefits You Will Notice

1. A Warmer, More Comfortable Home

FINEO keeps warmth inside, so rooms feel cosier and more consistent in temperature. Many households notice the difference as soon as the colder months arrive.

2. Lower Heating Bills

With less heat escaping through the glass, your heating runs more efficiently. Over time this can help reduce your energy bills and improve your EPC rating.

3. A Quieter, Calmer Environment

FINEO provides excellent acoustic insulation – ideal if you live near busy roads, schools, town centres or riverside routes in towns and cities across the UK.

4. Slim, Elegant Appearance

Because FINEO is so thin, it keeps the original proportions of your windows. Perfect for heritage properties and a clean, refined look in modern homes.

5. Long-Lasting, Low-Maintenance

With its sealed vacuum design and long guarantee, there is no special upkeep needed – just clear, high-performance glass for decades.
