Overview

Today's builders, regulators and wider communities are demanding more from glass. In particular, the focus on energy efficiency and tighter regulations are creating a greater need for low-emissivity (low-e) glass. Through advances in low-e glass, windows now play a big part in energy conservation and comfort, minimising heat loss and internal condensation.

With our wide range of low-emissivity glass we can meet all your energy saving requirements.

How it works

Effectively, low-emissivity glass will keep heat from entering into a building, to achieve a cooler interior than ordinary float glass. 

Low-e glass prevents heat gain into the building but yet allowing high daylight transmission thus reducing the need for artificial lighting and also reduces the costs for cooling systems. 

To enhance the properties of low-e glass, combine with solar control glass in a laminate or insulated glass units.

Our Range

A solution for any energy-efficient requirement:

• from on-line low-e products such as Pilkington Energy Advantage™, Pilkington K Glass™ N and the revolutionary vacuum glazing Pilkington Spacia™
• through to Pilkington Solar-E™ and Pilkington Eclipse Advantage™ which provide both low-emissivity and solar control properties in a single product.

The ideal glazing solution often balances both solar and low emissivity performance in an insulating glass unit:

• by using a single glass which provides both solar control and low-emissivity on one pane of an insulating glass unit
• by using both a solar control glass and a separate low-emissivity glass within an insulating glass unit.
