Regency Glass and Corning Incorporated Collab on Triple Glazing Solution
Regency Glass, in collaboration with Corning Incorporated, will soon launch a triple glazing solution that incorporates Corning’s ultra-thin architectural glass. Over the past two years, Regency Glass has made investments in personnel, processes and technology to enhance the quality of its glazing solutions. These investments include internal training programs, expanded marketing resources and a brand-new website with features designed to benefit end users—focusing on the theme: “Glass for Your Home.”
Today’s triple glazing performance hinges on several key factors: glass thickness, toughening processes, thermal efficiency, and overall durability. Through extensive research and development and a strategic collaboration with Corning, Regency achieved advancements across all these areas and looks to deliver a more cost-effective, energy-efficient, and advanced triple glazing solution for the UK market.
About the collaboration
Manufactured on Corning’s fusion forming platform, Corning‘s architectural glass has a 0.5 millimeter center pane of glass designed to be a drop-in solution that can withstand thermal stress and reduce breakage without the need for tempering in triple-glazed units. This maximizes argon gas volume for superior thermal efficiency.
Corning’s architectural glass delivers a triple glazing solution that is up to 9 kilograms lighter per square meter. This reduced weight equates to a 30% decrease from conventional triple-glazed units and only a 5% increase on conventional double-glazed units, making installation easier and safer while maintaining durability and performance.
Through ongoing testing and regulatory reviews, Regency Glass anticipates center-of-glass U-values for triple-glazed units incorporating Corning’s architectural glass in the range of 0.7 to 0.9 W/m²/K for a standard 28 millimeter unit, ensuring enhanced energy efficiency for consumers by up to 35% compared to current 28 mm offerings. Full testing results and compliance updates will be shared in due course.
What company leadership says
“We are thrilled to lead the introduction of this product to the UK market by Q1 2026. Our development and planning are in advanced stages, and our agreement with Corning, one of the world leaders in thin glass development, marks a major milestone in our company’s history and a significant leap forward for the UK glazing industry,” says Regency Glass CEO, Darren Beazant.
“Collaborating with companies like Regency, which share Corning’s strong commitment to innovation, enables residents and business owners in the UK to enjoy a higher quality of life with more comfortable and energy efficient spaces at home and work,” says Senior Vice President, Emerging Innovations Group, Corning Incorporated Ron Verkleeren.
