**The Products**

Our success is based largely on our key secondary glazing product InvisiTherm® and our draught proofing solution, InvisiSeal®.

InvisiTherm® is a bespoke magnetic secondary glazing product based on an innovative polycarbonate which can turn single glazing into double glazing, eliminating the need to replace windows. The key benefits are
- reduces heat loss by as much as 63%
- reduces noise pollution by a minimum of 48%
- provides instant draught proofing
- reduces condensation

The system is particularly relevant for use in historic and listed buildings, for which the installation of double glazing is severely restricted.

The company's key differentiation is in the detailed and thorough approach that it takes with its customers to define the most appropriate solution for the customer’s needs, typically offering advice on energy conservation and property preservation over and above the immediate sale. The result is that the company has a very happy group of customers who readily offer endorsements and testimonials about the effectiveness of the outcomes. As a consequence, much of the company’s business comes from recommendations.
