Solar Control

Overview

The increased use of glass in architecture today makes it imperative to consider the comfort of a building's occupants. Solar control glass can be an attractive feature of a building while at the same time reducing the demand on air conditioning systems reducing running costs of the building and saving energy.

In hot climates, solar control glass can be used to minimize solar heat gain and help control glare.

In temperate regions, it can be used to balance solar control with high levels of natural light. 

Solar control glass can be specified for any situation where excessive solar heat gain is likely to be an issue, from large sunrooms to glass walkways and building façades.

The Pilkington range of Solar Control glass offers a range of performance options to suit most building applications.

All products are available in heat strengthened or laminated form for safety and security requirements and can be combined with other products to achieve additional benefits.
