Heat Soak Testing to EN 14179

Heat soak testing minimises risk of breakage in thermally toughened glass due to a nickel sulphide inclusion. Our jumbo oven gives us the ability to heat soak glass up to 6000mm x 3000mm in size, which recently won us a project in central London. (Link here to ICS oversized panel case study).
EXPLORE TYPES

You can explore from various types of Architectural & Residential Glazing

Discover a wide range of Architectural and Residential Glazing options, each designed to provide exceptional energy efficiency, durability, and aesthetic appeal, perfectly suited for any modern home or building.

Low Emissivity

A cost-effective solution for low U value glazing, “low e” glass can achieve U-values as low as 1.0 in double glazing and 0.4 in triple glazing.

Low emissivity glass enhances thermal insulation, reducing energy costs by keeping interiors warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Its advanced coating minimizes heat transfer, making it an ideal choice for energy-efficient buildings.

Solar Control

High performance solar control glazing reduces the amount of heat absorbed through the glass due to direct sunlight. This is measured in terms of the “g-value”. We of options including the “Super Neutral” range from Guardian Glass and the “Suncool” range from Pilkington, suited for everything from a commercial high-rise to a residential conservatory.

TESTIMONIAL

What They’re Saying

Mrs CzubaLeeds

My friend and I had virtually identical sliding doors installed in our homes around the same time in 2019 from different companies, only my friend went with just double glazing, whereas I upgraded to CUIN. In the words of my friend “your sliding doors are so much lighter and easier to open/close than ours. There’s absolutely no feel of cold when your near the glass unlike ours. I wish I had chosen CUIN.”

MassoudEssex

I contacted CUIN to enquire about their glazing for my full home renovation. They were extremely helpful from the start, explaining the different types of CUIN and the benefits of each type, whilst providing competitive prices. I decided to opt for Ultra and couldn’t be more pleased.

Mr and Mrs PlazaMid 2020

The new windows have been installed for about 6 months now and we really noticed a difference over the winter. We felt warmer near the large bay windows in the living room and generally had our thermostat turned down lower than we would previously. Overall I would definitely say that this is something we would recommend to other families thinking of upgrading to triple glazing.

I'm wondering why I never contacted these guys sooner! Seriously, they all have commendable talent in their respective fields and knocked my concept out of the ballpark. Thanks for an amazing experience!
