Let's Talk About Your Project
We work best when we understand your problem directly. Whether you are at the concept stage, mid-development, looking for independent validation, or wanting to commission equipment for your own facility — reach out and we will give you a straight technical response. No sales process. Just expertise applied to your problem.

Select the option that fits — we'll show you the most relevant information.
Product Qualification & Testing
We work with glazing manufacturers at every stage — from early design through to full product qualification and standards-compliant validation. Our GHP system provides traceable U-value measurements for NFRC and ISO compliance. Use our calculator to model your configuration first, then get in touch to discuss a testing programme.
- U-value measurement (NFRC / ISO boundary conditions)
- Pillar geometry optimisation and thermal performance sweeps
- Edge seal and vacuum integrity assessment
- Mechanical load and failure testing
Performance Specification & Facade Support
We help architects and developers specify VIG correctly — understanding what U-values are achievable for your application, how VIG compares to conventional glazing, and what you need to specify to achieve your thermal performance targets. Heritage retrofit is a particular area of strength.
- U-value comparison: VIG vs double/triple glazing
- SHGC and solar performance guidance
- Slim-profile and heritage retrofit suitability
- Acoustic performance assessment
Research Access & Collaboration
We work with research institutions as a facility partner and as a co-investigator. Whether you need access to specific measurement capabilities not available at your institution, a custom test protocol, or a long-term research collaboration, we bring the same rigour to academic work as to commercial projects.
- GHP, XPS, RGA, ellipsometry, SEM access
- Custom test protocol design
- Co-authorship and data sharing arrangements
- Materials characterisation and thin-film analysis
Equipment Commissioning & Custom Build
We design and build custom GHP systems, vacuum rigs, plasma systems and specialised test infrastructure for clients who want these capabilities in their own facility. If a commercial instrument doesn't exist for what you need, that's exactly the kind of challenge we take on. Talk to our team — we'll give you an honest technical assessment of what's feasible and at what cost.
- Custom Guarded Hot Plate (GHP) systems
- Vacuum system design and build
- RF and magnetron plasma systems
- Specialised test rig design and fabrication
VIG Product Design Assistance
Struggling to hit a U-value target? Not sure which pillar geometry, spacing, or coating combination gives you the best result? We provide engineering input at the design stage — helping you reach performance targets faster and with fewer costly iterations. Start with our calculator, then talk to our team for detailed design review.
- Pillar geometry and spacing optimisation
- Low-e coating selection and emissivity targets
- Edge seal design and vacuum integrity
- FEM simulation for structural and thermal design
Industry Partnership & Long-Term Collaboration
We work as a long-term technical partner to glazing manufacturers, research institutions and industrial organisations worldwide. Whether you need sustained measurement support, a technology licensing conversation, or a joint R&D programme, we bring the same standard of rigour to every engagement.
- Ongoing testing and validation programmes
- Technology transfer and licensing
- Joint R&D and co-development
- Training and knowledge transfer
