LightBridge™
High performance double glazing
LightBridge™ is our residential range of high performance insulating glass units (IGU) specifically designed to balance the benefits of high levels of natural light transmission with outstanding levels of thermal insulation and overall energy efficiency.
Playing a key role in managing both the heat flowing in and the heat flowing out of the glazed elements of the building, LightBridge™ helps to make your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter whilst allowing the room to bathe in very high levels of natural light.
LightBridge™ is ideal for use in fully framed windows and doors in detached residential and low-rise multi-residential building projects.

Bring your home out of the dark …
When using ordinary glass, the window space in your home needs to be relatively small to maintain a 6 star energy rating – limiting your access to natural light.
… and into the light
The double glazing of LightBridge™ allows for expansive window spaces whilst still maintaining 6 star efficiency – opening up your home to natural light.
