Pilkington Solar-E™ Low-E

Overview

The world's first pyrolytic solar control Low-E glass.

Pilkington Solar-E™ Glass is the perfect solution for meeting cooling load requirements and other energy code programs. Manufactured using a unique chemical vapor deposition method, Pilkington Solar-E™ Glass features an integral pyrolytic surface which provides superior fabricating and handling qualities. As a result, the glass can be handled, cut and tempered, and offers unlimited shelf life. In addition, no edge deletion or special handling is required.

Benefits

• Optimizes Solar Control and energy efficiency of clear I.G. units to create an excellent Sun Management™ Glass System.
• Reduces Heat Gain, with a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of only 0.44, compared to SHGCs of 0.70 for clear float and approximately 0.61 for other pyrolytic Low-E glasses.
• Durable pyrolytic surface offers all the benefits of pyrolytic glass, including unlimited shelf life, excellent availability for reduced lead times, easy fabrication and heat treatment - and is so durable, it can be used in monolithic applications.
