CLARITY Classic

HERITAGE DOUBLE GLAZED UNITS

We’re all familiar with the age old, problem of how to consistently incorporate 21st Century glass technology into aesthetically appropriate double glazed units for traditional and historic or listed properties.

It’s an issue our industry has grappled with for decades and something highlighted by the GGF who draw attention to the lack of specific test evidence available to date for IGU’s constructed with narrow cavities and reduced sightlines.

SafeGuard is the first company in the UK to achieve EN 1279 Parts 2 and 3 across a range of heritage IGUs as our CLARITY Classic range of slim units sailed through the moisture penetration index, and gas loss rates at BSI laboratories.

With an 8.5mm sightline and a five year guarantee, the CLARITY Classic range from Safeguard is the perfect option for those seeking a low sightline, alongside units that are made to the highest quality. Available in spacer sizes of 4mm, 6mm and 8mm in either dark brown or silver with white also available in 6mm and 8mm versions.

CLARITY Classic slim units are available incorporating a range of period glasses to closely replicate the aesthetics of the original glass.

Manufactured with the highest performing soft coat glasses on the market with either Argon or Krypton Gas, CLARITY Classic slim units can achieve U-values as low as 1.8 W/m2K with a 4mm Cavity and 1.1 W/m2K with an 8mm Cavity.

The product comes with a five year guarantee, which is valid when glazed in accordance with strict glazing and maintenance guidelines and is limited to the supply only of replacement units. Refer to glazing guidelines.
