was nothing installation companies could offer customers to help. Now Edgetech UK, the leading voice
for energy efficient glazing, has launched Renovate by TruShield® to bring old windows back to life.

the glass. The protective effect is
activated immediately with the
surface becoming hydrophobic.

Marketing Manager at Edgetech.
“With 91% of windows in the UK
already replaced we could see a
need for protecting the performance of those windows. Dirt on

“It gives installation companies a

the energy performance of their

is designed as a retrofit product,
there’s no reason why companies
can’t offer it at the time of new
installations.”
