In Turkey, from the Ottoman-era mansions of Safranbolu to stone homes in the Aegean villages, historic buildings are architectural treasures. Yet these charming properties often suffer from poor insulation, draughty interiors, and condensation on their single-glazed windows. Finding the right replacement windows for historic homes is a challenge—until now.
Vacuum glazing is a cutting-edge solution that allows property owners to keep the visual character of their original windows while drastically improving energy performance. Two panes of glass are separated by a vacuum layer, offering top-tier insulation in a design that fits within slim historic frames.
Unlike thick triple glazing or bulky secondary units, vacuum glazing has a minimalist profile. That means no noticeable change to the appearance of your window frames—just a major leap in performance.
In Turkish heritage areas, many buildings are protected by law, and any updates must be sensitive to original features. Vacuum glazing can be retrofitted into original wooden or metal frames with minimal intervention, making it one of the few viable energy upgrades for protected structures.
Whether you're restoring a historic yalı in Istanbul or a stone house in Mardin, vacuum glazing allows you to retain authentic window profiles while enjoying modern thermal comfort.
Preserve Original Frames: No need to replace beautiful, aged woodwork or handcrafted iron fittings
Boost Energy Efficiency: Reduce heating bills and stay warm in winter without sacrificing style
Reduce Condensation: Prevent moisture build-up that can lead to frame damage
Noise Reduction: Enjoy quieter interiors, especially in urban heritage zones
Planning-Friendly: Because it maintains the window’s appearance, vacuum glazing is often accepted in conservation areas
Secondary glazing systems often change the interior aesthetics and limit access to windows. Full frame replacements can be costly and typically disqualify you from heritage compliance. Vacuum glazing solves both issues—it’s discreet, efficient, and preservation-friendly.
Vacuum glazing bridges the gap between conservation and comfort. With LandVac’s advanced vacuum-insulated glass, you no longer have to choose between maintaining history and improving performance.
