Glaston has received technology and equipment orders from Regency Glass, a well-known producer of high-quality insulating glass units (IGU) in the UK. The orders are booked in Glaston’s Q1 2025 order book.
They include an ULTRA TPS® line for manufacturing insulating glass units with ultra-thin center glass, MULTI’ARRISSER machines for edge processing, and an FC Series X machine for glass tempering. The orders will be delivered in the second half of 2025.
Regency Glass has a long experience in providing insulated glass units for the replacement and new build market in the UK. Relying on Glaston’s technology, the company is now expanding its production capabilities, specifically designed to produce ultra-thin triple-glazed insulating glass units.
The triple IG unit with ultra-thin center glass down to 0.5 mm is significantly lighter than conventional triple IG units, and it offers high-performance glazing in a slimmer, more efficient package. These units offer up to 35% better U-values than conventional double glazing, while also addressing the issues of thickness and weight. Regency Glass’s new triple glazed offering is only 5% heavier than a conventional double IG unit.
Regency Glass has a quality and efficiency-driven operating model. Glaston was the only vendor capable of providing the needed technology to meet their production quality and efficiency requirements. The customer has already automated its glass tempering process with Glaston’s Autopilot and will continue utilizing those capabilities in the future, too.
