Benefits of GLOW Heated Glass

Energy Efficient

The electrically heated glass units are thermostatically controlled creating ambient temperatures which are perfect for installation in Bi-folding doors reaching glass surface temperatures of 35-40°C. For the first time a realistic alternative to radiators, electric fires or under floor heating systems is available either as the main or an additional source of heating for your home. Available in a range of opening configurations and colours which can fold inside or out, to suit any household.

Create Space

GLOW Heated Glass can replace traditional radiators, offering an alternative and potentially more efficient heating source. This technology has been designed to emit radiant heat rather than convection heat, so it warms up people and objects rather than just heating an empty space. Homeowners can benefit from a more efficient use of space without the need for radiators, potentially creating a more aesthetically pleasing and functional living space. Installation costs for GLOW Heated Glass are lower than underfloor heating or traditional radiators, making it a more affordable option for consumers. It is controlled via a wall mounted thermostat, offering convenience and ease of use for homeowners.

Reduce Condensation

An added benefit of GLOW Heated Glass is it dramatically reduces condensation, preserving uninterrupted views and potentially contributing to a healthier indoor environment. No ongoing maintenance is required, providing a hassle-free heating solution compared to systems that need regular servicing. The use of GLOW Heated Glass emits less carbon compared to traditional heating systems, aligning with eco-friendly practices.

What is Glow Heated Glass?

Glow heated glass is the latest innovative technology to take the glazing industry by storm. It is a specialist glazing that has a conductive coating which generates heat when an electrical current passes through it. This pioneering product can be used as a sole heating source for heating a room, or as an additional heating source for places where extra heating is required e.g., extensions and conservatories etc.

What are the benefits of Glow Heated Glass?

This innovative new heating solution offers numerous benefits:
• Space saver – The solution is invisible unlike traditional radiators or plug in fires.
• Condensation – Dramatically reduces condensation thereby preserving an uninterrupted
view.
• Environmentally friendly – Glow heated glass emits less carbon than traditional heating
systems.
• Cost of installation – Installation cost is cheaper than traditional heating methods such as
underfloor heating, radiators.
• Maintenance free – Unlike some heating systems that require regular service intervals Glow
Heated Glass requires no ongoing maintenance.

How efficient is Glow Heated Glass?

Glow heated glass has been designed specifically to emit radiant heat rather than convection heat as used in traditional radiators. Radiant heating solutions have many benefits as it heats people and objects unlike convection that heats space. As an example, radiant heat is what makes sunshine feel warm on your skin.

Where is Glow Heated Glass typically used?

Glow heated glass is an ideal glazing option for Bifold doors as a primary heating solution for your designated room.

Can you control the temperature of Glow heated glass?

The temperature of Glow heated glass like other primary heating sources is thermostatically controlled. This helps maintain a consistent temperature by turning the glass on and off as needed. This can reduce energy consumption and wastage and lead to lower utility bills.

What is the maximum temperature?

Dependent on outside temperatures the maximum glass surface temperature is up to 35-40c. This is below Safe to Touch Industry standards of 43° making it an ideal and safe heating solution within the home.
How much does Glow heated Glass cost to run?
The average hourly cost is around 9p per Bifold door. Therefore, as an example a 3 door Bifold configuration running for 5 hours per day will cost around £1.35.

*Based on an electricity cost of 25p/kWh

Is Glow Heated Glass difficult to install?

Glow Heated Glass DGU’s are glazed in a similar fashion to conventional DGU’s. However, we recommend the electrical connections are carried out by a qualified electrician with the product conveniently designed to connect direct to your 240v home mains supply making installations easier and hassle-free. We also provide a comprehensive installation guide with each order.

Is Glow Heated Glass a look into the future of home heating solutions?

Yes traditional radiators and gas boilers have been recognised as inefficient and not environmentally friendly by the Government as part of their 2025 Future Homes Standard initiative. In its current format gas boilers and therefore radiators will be banned in new build houses by 2025. Glow Heated Glass with its many benefits will conform to this new legislation.
