Bij dit project is gekozen voor BENGglas® Hybrid Double Coated met een Uglas van 0,38 W/m²K en een g-waarde van 0,39. Het glas is geplaatst met thermisch onderbroken afstandshouders en bleek bij een nieuwe BENG-berekening ruimschoots te voldoen aan alle eisen. Dat is extra bijzonder omdat de 26 jaar oude Reynaers profielen behouden konden blijven, terwijl deze minder goed isoleren dan moderne kozijnen. Ook aan aanvullende eisen voor inbraakwerendheid en brandveiligheid is voldaan. Voor het deel met een EW30-eis is BENGglas® PyroVac® Hybrid toegepast, ontwikkeld in samenwerking met Pyroguard.

Voor de uitvoerende partij was vooral de gelijke glasdikte een groot voordeel. Per kozijnmerk kon BENGglas® Hybrid worden geplaatst in dezelfde dikte als het bestaande gewone dubbelglas, waardoor grote aanpassingen aan de kozijnen niet nodig waren. In totaal ging het om zes 40ft containers glas, waarvan het grootste deel is geassembleerd op de productielijnen van LandGlass in China. De brandwerende beglazing is samengesteld bij Pyroguard in Frankrijk. Met 1.900 m² is Universe het grootste Europese project met hybride vacuümglas voor LandVac en laat het goed zien hoe breed BENGglas inzetbaar is bij grootschalige renovaties.

Huize Heyendael, originally built as a villa and later used by Radboud University, is one of Nijmegen's most iconic historic buildings. This national monument will soon be upgraded with BENG glass, combining sustainability and preservation of its appearance.

BENGglas Extra Clear was chosen for this project, the clearest variant with an impressive U-value of 0.50. It is particularly important to preserve the color and appearance of monumental buildings. The installation is handled by De Bresser, an experienced specialist with more than 90 years of experience in maintenance and restoration of special buildings.

In The Hague, De Grote Pyr - a former school from the early 20th century - is being given a new future as a lively residential and commercial building. A characteristic building where residents and entrepreneurs come together, while maintaining its recognizable appearance.

BENG glass is being applied here in phases as part of a multi-year sustainability approach. The first phase has been completed and the next is already planned. In this way, the building will be improved step by step, with more comfort and better insulation, while retaining its monumental character.

A residential farmhouse in Ruinerwold has been fitted with BENG glass Single Coated (U=0.40), installed by Schildersbedrijf Donker. The residents first took a look at another home where BENG glass had already been installed. The positive experiences they heard and felt there made an immediate impression. That was the deciding factor. Their farmhouse has now also been fitted with BENG glass and they can experience the difference for themselves: noticeably more comfort in their home and a solution that perfectly suits this beautiful farmhouse.

When making Grand Café The Old Post Office more sustainable, vacuum glass from BENGglas® was chosen. A smart solution that significantly improved the energy performance of the building, while fully preserving the authentic look of the windows.

Vacuum glass insulates up to three times better than traditional double glazing. That means less heat loss, more indoor comfort and lower energy bills - without changing the character of the building. Especially in buildings with a rich history, this is of great value.

In cooperation with Vandaglas B.V. and contractor Sommer Schilderwerken , this projectwas expertly executed.
A fine example of how to make sustainable improvements, with an eye for detail and respect for the past.

In the heart of Groningen, despite the winter cold, a special preservation project has been realized by Glasgilde. BENG glass Double Coated with a U-value of 0.40 was chosen. This allowed the existing window frames to be retained, while the house is now much better insulated. The result: visibly nothing has changed, but tangibly everything has improved. The residents save significantly on energy and enjoy more comfort and peace in their homes.
