Solar Control. Reduces solar heat gain and offers high levels of natural light to provide comfortable and pleasant environments in which to live and work. Pilkington Suncool™ Suppliers.

Solar control glass is a hi-tech product developed by the glass industry to allow sunlight to pass through a window or façade while radiating and reflecting away a large degree of the sun’s heat. The indoor space stays bright and much cooler than would be the case if normal glass were used.

The Pilkington Suncool™ Range comprises our highest performing off-line coated, solar control and low-emissivity glass products. Coating technology has revolutionised the design of modern buildings enabling extensive use of glazing which combines functionality with stunning aesthetics.

Absorptance – the proportion of solar radiation absorbed by the glass. In hot conditions or for building with high internal loads, solar control glass is used to minimise solar heat gain. It allows sunlight to pass through a window or façade while radiating and reflecting away a large degree of the sun's heat.

From a glazing perspective, this could result in solar control glass being installed on a large, glazed south-facing room, but low emissivity glass on a north-facing room with smaller windows. Approved Document O also sets out a solution for providing an adequate means of removing excess heat from the indoor environment, setting out a minimum ...
