Romania’s architectural heritage is rich with historic buildings—Neo-Romanian villas, Art Deco townhouses, and elegant interwar apartments. But replacing the windows in these buildings is a delicate task. Balancing thermal comfort with authenticity is key, especially when your property falls under heritage protection laws.
Whether you own a historic home in Sinaia or a heritage apartment in Bucharest’s Cotroceni district, vacuum glazing offers the ideal solution—high-performance insulation with a discreet, conservation-friendly appearance.
Replacing windows in historic buildings isn’t as simple as swapping old frames for new ones. In Romania, these buildings are often protected under “monument istoric” regulations, meaning any intervention must preserve the architectural identity.
Modern replacement windows must replicate the appearance of the originals—right down to frame shape, joinery details, and glazing type. This makes LandVac vacuum glazing a perfect fit. It offers:
Ultra-slim 8.3mm profile.
U-values as low as 0.4 W/m²K.
No double reflections, unlike traditional double glazing.
If your timber or steel frames are still in good condition, refurbishment may be the best option. This means repairing and reusing existing frames while upgrading the glazing.
Benefits:
Maintains original craftsmanship.
Avoids the need for new planning permissions.
Fits seamlessly with vacuum glazing for improved insulation and acoustic performance.
When frames are too damaged to save, replacement becomes necessary. In this case, custom-built timber windows are designed to match the originals but are paired with modern vacuum glazing for superior performance.
Advantages:
Matches the historic appearance.
Meets today’s energy standards.
Often accepted by Romanian heritage authorities due to minimal visual impact.
Other options—like slim double glazing or secondary glazing—either alter the look too much or are visually intrusive. Vacuum glazing solves both problems.
Energy Efficiency: U-values down to 0.4 W/m²K.
Conservation Approved: Fits easily into heritage frames.
Unobtrusive Look: No distortion or reflection like double glazing.
Noise Reduction: Up to 39 dB acoustic insulation.
Vacuum glazing allows Romanian homeowners to preserve the soul of their property while improving comfort and lowering heating costs. It’s ideal for:
Buildings in conservation zones (e.g., Sibiu, Brașov, Oradea).
Listed properties requiring special approvals.
Restorations where maintaining façade harmony is essential.
