Regency Glass, in collaboration with Corning Incorporated, one of the world’s leading innovators in glass, ceramics, and materials science, will soon launch its highly anticipated, next-generation triple-glazed unit: Regency Triple featuring Corning Enlighten Glass.
This revolutionary product is set to launch in Q1 2026, and today marks the first time its name is shared publicly, exclusively in Glass Times magazine.
At the heart of the Regency Triple lies an innovation not yet seen in the UK market: a 0.5mm piece of Corning Enlighten Glass. The collaboration between Regency Glass and Corning brings to life an ultra-thin glass triple-glazed unit that delivers all the performance of a traditional triple-glazed unit without the bulk, weight, or compromise.
What makes the Regency Triple different?
The Regency Triple is not just another triple-glazed unit; it is a leap forward in insulated-glass unit (IGU) technology, offering real-world benefits across fabrication, installation, and performance, including:
- Ultra-thin profile: Provides the benefits of triple glazing whilst fitting seamlessly into a 28mm cavity, making the Regency Triple an ideal solution for the replacement window market.
- Lightweight design: Features a 30% decrease from conventional triple-glazed units and only a 5% weight increase compared to conventional double-glazed units, making product handling easier for installation teams.
- Enhanced thermal performance: Delivers impressively strong thermal insulation, helping homeowners improve energy efficiency without costly or bulky frame modifications.
- Design flexibility: Offers custom cavity widths available to suit any specification due to the use of a Thermo Plastic Spacer bar, also known as
- Thermal durability without tempering: Corning Enlighten Glass delivers high thermal durability, offering protection from field thermal breakage.
Built on values: quality, clarity, and consumer-first thinking
As with all Regency Glass products, Regency Triple has been developed not to follow trends, but to lead with integrity. The company’s ethos, ‘the difference is clear,’ drives its commitment to thoughtful innovation, putting end-user needs at the core of every decision.
“We’re not just chasing what’s new,” says Steve Massey, chief sales officer at Regency Glass. “We invest in what’s right. Our industry is changing fast, and homeowners are more informed than ever. Whether they’re prioritising energy savings, soundproofing, or security, we want to offer them honest products that work.”
Corning’s legacy of glass innovation
For nearly 175 years, Corning’s legacy of innovation in glass and ceramics has helped shape many different industries.
From developing the glass encasement for Thomas Edison’s first lightbulb to inventing the durable Corning Gorilla Glass used in billions of smartphones globally, the company’s materials-science breakthroughs have enhanced many aspects of modern life.
The company has been vital to the progress of display and architectural glass innovation for decades, and its pioneering work in ultra-thin borosilicate glass now underpins the core of the Regency Triple.
This legacy of high-performance, precision-engineered glass made Corning the ideal partner for Regency. “Harnessing the power of glass innovation to bring enhanced energy performance, comfort, and aesthetics into homes and businesses is what Corning strives for,” said Thomas Bertin-Mourot, director for innovation growth & advanced windows, Corning. “We’re honoured to work with an industry leader like Regency to bring its transformative triple-glazed unit to market.”
Regency Triple featuring Corning Enlighten Glass will be fully integrated into the company’s ‘Glass for Your Home’ survey, which is on the company website, towards the end of this year, allowing both installers and homeowners to select the best IGU for their needs, with clear information and complete support.
