Standard double glazing relies on Argon, but for the uncompromising requirements of a listed building, Argon simply cannot compete. Krypton is a rare noble gas, significantly denser than the air we breathe and the common gases used by our competitors. This density allows us to achieve superior thermal insulation in cavities below 10mm – the exact precision required for authentic slim sightlines.
By significantly lowering thermal conductivity, SlimLite™ Krypton units create a formidable barrier against heat loss. For homeowners in conservation areas, this technology offers the pinnacle of performance without the unsightly, bulky profiles of modern triple glazing.
Krypton isn't just an alternative; it is the definitive choice for heritage applications. Where standard glazing fails to provide adequate thermal retention in narrow spaces, Krypton excels. Its molecular structure reduces heat transfer to a minimum, ensuring your period home remains a sanctuary of warmth.
Choosing the right gas fill is a matter of technical necessity, not just preference. Krypton is the industry-leading choice for heritage projects because it delivers maximum energy efficiency within the strict physical constraints of slim sightlines.
Whether your project involves delicate sash or classic casement windows, our Krypton-filled units balance thermal excellence with historical compliance. It’s the only choice for those who demand efficiency without sacrificing aesthetic heritage.

Find professional answers about krypton double glazing specifications, and determining when krypton is the best option for your project.
Krypton's higher density and superior insulating properties make it the best option for narrow cavity units (4-6mm), delivering better insulation and excellent thermal performance where argon gas cannot.
Krypton gas performs optimally in smaller spaces – specifically 4-6mm cavities. For wider cavities, argon gas (the most commonly used gas) may be more cost-effective while still delivering good performance.
Krypton double glazing can deliver significant energy savings compared to standard double glazing, with substantial increase in thermal performance reducing heat loss and lowering energy bills throughout the year.
Yes, krypton gas fills work effectively across various types of windows including sash, casement, and fixed units, making it a popular choice for heritage window design projects.
Krypton's superior insulation properties significantly reduce heat transfer, improving a home's energy efficiency through lower heat loss, which translates directly to reduced energy bills and maximum energy efficiency.
