Creating positive change for people, places and buildings.

Who we are: Nash Partnership is an award-winning consultancy in Planning, Architecture, Heritage and Placemaking. We blend our skills and put context, collaboration, creativity and sustainability at the heart of all we do.

We took this thermal image at one of our Grade II-listed projects to show the dramatic difference in heat loss between historic single pane glazing (on the upper floors) and the newly installed vacuum glass (in the two windows on the ground floor). The brighter the yellow and orange, the hotter the temperature (ie. more heat loss). The right-hand chimney pot serves the ground floor fireplace and it glows slightly hotter here due to heat rising up the flue – proof enough to use flue balloons when the fire is not in use.

As well as providing thermal insulation and sharply reducing heat loss in winter, vacuum glazing also limits summer heat gain and helps prevent overheating. It also does a good job of keeping the sound out. 

Since vacuum glass can be thinner than traditional double glazing, it’s a good candidate for retrofit projects at historic properties like this one.
