30 Gloucester Place, London is a listed building in the UK's capital. FINEO vacuum insulated glazing was chosen to preserve the building's original timber frames while improving its energy performance. The combination of Solar Control, Acoustic and Safety options enhances all its insulating capabilities, providing greater thermal and acoustic comfort as well as greater safety. The building now retains heat better in winter while preventing overheating in summer.

The iconic Citroën Garage in Brussels (Belgium) has been restored and transformed into a new centre for art, architecture and public life, Kanal – Centre Pompidou. FINEO was used to refurbish the historical facade of the Workshop as well as reconstruct a new steel façade for the Showroom. FINEO 10 with low-iron Clearvision glass was selected for this project. 2,280 FINEO vacuum glazing units were installed across nearly 3,750 m² of façade surface. Thanks to FINEO, its historic steel façades and authentic industrial look have been fully preserved, while improving energy efficiency, acoustics and user comfort. Project partners : Owner: Fondation Kanal - General Contractor: BPC and CIT Blaton - Architects: Atelier KANAL (noAarchitecten, EM2N and Sergison Bates architects) - Facade engineering: Gevelinzicht & Servais Engineering Architectural - Kahle Acoustics - Steel fenestration: Jansen, Lootens Line - Glass installation: AGC Mirodan Bouwglas

Egyptian House and Dudley House are two listed buildings in the Piccadilly district of central London. The original single glazing were replaced by FINEO Acoustic glazing. As a result, the original architecture and charm of these 1905 buildings has been preserved. In addition to the thermal insulation provided by all our FINEO products, the Acoustic range also enhances the acoustic insulation of buildings, ensuring maximum comfort. It is the ideal product for these two listed buildings in the heart of the town center.

In Brussels' Jubelpark/Parc du Cinquantenaire, FINEO by AGC contributed to the restoration of the façade of the Aviation Hall of the Royal Military Museum, home to a unique collection of historic aircrafts. Together with the Buildings agency (building owner and architect), the restoration expert Monument Van de Kerckhove and Laeremans Geert nv (welding and steel construction), this collaboration helped preserve one of the most remarkable steel-and-glass structures in the country. The vast glass façades, the refined steel structures and the monumental scale make this project a truly exceptional feat of heritage conservation. Restoring an iconic building means more than simply repairing the wear of time. It means preserving the soul of the building while preparing it for the future through energy-efficient upgrades. The glazing in the arch-shaped façade of the Aviation Hall was therefore replaced with FINEO vacuum insulating glazing. Certified FINEO installer Laeremans Geert nv installed FINEO Heritage Classic 8 into the steel frames of this historic glass façade. FINEO Heritage is FINEO's restoration glass suitable for restoring and preserving the visual appearance of glass installed in buildings built from the 1880s through to the 1960s. This uniquely slim monumental insulating glazing (only 11 mm thick in the Classic 8 version) fits perfectly into characteristic single-glazed windows or façades, preserving the original appearance of historic buildings and homes while significantly improving thermal and acoustic insulation.

The owner of this house wanted the best on the market for the renovation of his property. So he chose the Hybrid version of FINEO. As well as allowing him to keep his original wooden frames without demolition or milling, this double-glazing incorporating FINEO offers a thermal insulation value (Ug) equal to 0.4.
