The Old Town Hall in Merthyr Tydfil, UK transferred into Redhouse arts complex. New windows feature Pilkington Spacia™ vacuum glass that thanks to its very small thickness (ca. 6,5 mm) was perfect for the old frames. It provides thermal comfort inside the building thanks to its low-e properties and vacuum between the glass sheets.
