Any glazing specialists around?
Will this work:
I have 1930s bay leaded lights and a box room with leaded lights. I am keeping them rather than replacing with upvc, but I would still like to make them as energy efficient as possible.
I had decided on well made/fitted secondary glazing and was happy with the pros/cons that may entail....
However, I recently came across this ultra thin Vacuum Glazing. It is produced in the UK by Pilkington under their Spacia branding. It is only 6mm thick and is designed to replicate single glazing whilst having the thermal performance of double glazing without the bulk.
So basically it can easily be retrofitted in to old frames etc.
My question, obviously you cant sandwich the leaded light between this type of glass, but, can you install it in front or behind the leaded light unit itself, within the existing frame, separated by a wooden spacer or something. Or would/could this lead to major condensation between the two? Any thoughts?
