The "Federal Promotion for Efficient Buildings" (BAFA) provides funding for house and flat owners who want to upgrade the energy efficiency of their buildings with vacuum glass. If the existing window frames are still in good condition, replacing the glass is an attractive option to meet the BAFA funding requirements.

An interesting solution for this is Fineo vacuum insulating glass, developed by the AGC Group. This high-performance glass optimises the energy performance of the building envelope without having to replace the entire window. Due to the vacuum in the space between the panes (SZR), Fineo glasses have a very low thermal conductivity, which significantly reduces heat loss through the window. This improves the comfort in the room and saves energy at the same time.

This is why glass replacement is a cost-effective alternative
Glass replacement can be carried out in most common window profiles, which makes modernisation simple and efficient. Replacing the vacuum insulating glass instead of the entire window is thus a cost-effective option for property owners, because compared to complete window replacement, there is no additional facade work, nor is plastering and painting necessary in the interior.
A clean affair - no dirt, no dust
Another advantage of replacing the old glass with new vacuum insulating glass is that there is no building dirt and no dust. Since only the glazing is replaced, the frame and window structure remain intact, as do the walls and wallpaper. in addition, living space does not have to be extensively cleaned after the replacement work.
Another plus: the installation times are much shorter; instead of days, it takes just a few hours.

In summary, the installation of Fineo vacuum insulating glass fulfils the requirements of the BAFA subsidy, as the energy performance of the windows - and thus of the building - is improved. This in turn saves heating energy and, above all, increases the living comfort for the user. In addition to old wooden windows, intact PVC windows can also be upgraded with vacuum glazing.
