Premier Security Ballistic & Blast Ltd
The most versatile toughened vacuum-insulated glass range in the world.
Our Heritage Range Vacuum Insulated Glass (VIG) delivers Premier performance with Passive House Institute certified components across our GVG ranges. Vacuum-insulated glass is the glazing choice most often recommended by Historic England when traditional historic glass is not required. The Heritage Range VIG leads the field in vacuum technology, featuring virtually invisible nano pillars, toughened glass units, ultra-thin edge joints, and 1 mm needle getters.
The lowest standard U value of any insulated unit in the world: 0.452 W/m2.K
Key advantages of the Heritage Range VIG:
- Passive House Institute certified component for exceptional energy performance
- 25-year manufacturer’s guarantee
- Environmentally responsible design: avoids gases, plastics, and butyl rubber unlike slimline and double glazing
- Vacuum-insulated glass (VIG) with ultra-thin 1 mm needle getters and robust edge joints
- 12 mm powder glass edge joint; 8 mm metal welded edge joint
- Acoustic performance starting from 39 dB
- Maximum panel size: 3200 x 2000 mm
- Long-term durability: metal welded edge joint life up to 35 years; glass welded joint up to 60 years
- Hybrid unit configurations available in all depths to suit any frame
- The lowest standard U-Value in the world at 0.452 W/m2.K, with 0.252 W/m2.K achievable as a Passive House certified configuration
Heritage Range applications and suitability
- The Heritage 8.15 mm Range is suitable for all domestic window types (UPVC, aluminium, timber, steel, and stone framed) and works across standard domestic, commercial, and office projects
- Ideal for listed buildings and conservation projects; compatible with historic drawn or hand-blown cylinder glass when required
- The Natural History Museum in London has selected our Heritage Range as its nominated vacuum glass product for upgrading thermal performance and energy efficiency
- Architects and specifiers can rely on the Heritage Range for all listed properties, conservation areas, and commercial applications
Why choose vacuum-insulated glass.
Vacuum glass can be applied in all industrial, commercial and domestic buildings.
Vacuum glass is used extensively in passive houses and commercial passive house buildings and also generally in public buildings, building facades, curtain walling and in all types of doors and windows.
With an expected life span of sixty years plus, an incredibly low u value of 0.45 w/m2k as standard and a weighted sound reduction of 39db, vacuum insulated glass is replacing triple glazing for longevity, better thermal efficiency and being far greener, with no gases, mastics, butyl rubber or plastics being used.
If you’re an architect, specifier, or building owner working on conservation projects, listed properties, or historic renovations, the Heritage Range VIG provides superior energy efficiency, structural resilience, and authentic preservation-friendly glazing options.

FAQ’s
Vacuum insulated glass (VIG) uses two panes of glass separated by a microscopic vacuum gap. Because there is no air or gas between the panes, heat transfer is dramatically reduced. This allows vacuum insulated glass to achieve extremely low U values and high thermal efficiency while remaining much thinner than traditional double or triple glazing.
Vacuum insulated glass is used across domestic, commercial and industrial buildings. It is especially popular in listed buildings, conservation projects and passive house developments because it delivers excellent thermal performance while maintaining slim glazing profiles that work with existing window frames.
Vacuum insulated glass often provides better thermal efficiency than triple glazing while being significantly thinner and lighter. It also avoids the use of gases, plastics and sealants typically found in conventional glazing units, offering a longer lifespan, improved sustainability and enhanced acoustic performance.
