Vacuum glazing is an innovative glazing solution that delivers exceptional thermal performance while maintaining the slim profile of traditional single glazing. Ideal for both new timber windows and heritage restoration projects, vacuum glazing allows homeowners to improve energy efficiency without compromising the original appearance of their property.
Whether you’re upgrading existing timber windows or installing new bespoke joinery, vacuum glazing offers outstanding insulation, improved acoustic performance, and a discreet aesthetic, making it a popular choice for period properties, listed buildings, and conservation areas.
At ERW, we supply and install advanced vacuum glazing within new timber windows and as part of our window restoration services. Its ultra-thin construction makes it ideal where standard double or triple glazing may not be suitable, while still delivering exceptional thermal performance.
With a thermal insulation value of less than 0.44W/m²K, vacuum glazing outperforms traditional glazing systems, helping to reduce heat loss, improve comfort, and lower energy costs.
Vacuum glazing provides outstanding thermal insulation, helping to retain heat during colder months and reduce reliance on heating systems.
Our vacuum glazing is backed by a 15-year guarantee, providing confidence in its long-term performance and reliability.
The vacuum cavity between the glass panes significantly reduces the transfer of external noise, creating a quieter and more comfortable indoor environment.
With a profile similar to a single pane of glass, vacuum glazing is ideal for traditional timber windows where maintaining original sightlines is essential.
Vacuum glazing is manufactured using recyclable materials, making it a sustainable option for improving your home’s energy efficiency.
Its slim construction reduces the visible reflections often associated with standard double glazing, helping to preserve the authentic appearance of traditional windows.
Vacuum glazing is frequently specified for listed buildings and conservation projects, where its slim profile allows historic windows to retain their original character while benefiting from modern performance.
Vacuum glazing consists of two panes of glass separated by a vacuum rather than air or gas. This virtually eliminates heat transfer between the panes, providing exceptional thermal insulation in a remarkably slim glazing unit.

We were delighted with the service offered by all members of the ERW team – helpful, patient, professional and courteous. Even though the windows were not the cheapest we are very happy with them. Well Done!
Mr & Mrs M, Stockton on Tees
I remember visiting your showroom and saying that I wish my windows could be as good as the ones on your display and they are! I am absolutely delighted with them. They have transformed the front of my house. All installation staff involved were extremely polite and professional in their approach. They treated my home with respect and ensured that they cleaned thoroughly after. Please pass on my thanks to them for the quality of work they have done. It has been much admired by so many people, so I will not hesitate to recommend your firm in the future.
Mrs R, Stokesley
A superb job! We’re really delighted with all our new windows. We’d like to thank ERW very much.
The installation team of Craig, Aarron and Joe were very professional, worked well together and got on with the job efficiently to complete everything ahead of time. They were very polite and communicated well with us about the job in hand and the time scale, and we were impressed that they cleared up so well each day before leaving. We would like to thank them for all their workmanship, advice, help and good humour.
The quality of the items made off-site was very high. The 7 windows look really good, they operate well and the finish is excellent. Hopefully, next winter’s gas and electricity bills will show the benefit.
From our initial contact with Stuart and our visit to the showroom, through the technical survey by Andy and the co-ordination by Sophie and Jeff, to the final installation, we’re more than happy with the whole process. We’re so pleased that we chose ERW for our continuing efforts at improving our 115-year-old home. We will certainly come back for the final stage of work on our windows in due course.
Mr and Mrs C, Darlington
