Interactive Calculators
21 July 2011Pilkington has redesigned and updated the Sun Management and Thermal Stress online calculators to include an interactive format, new products, updated performance data and improved features.
The Pilkington Sun Management Calculator is an interactive online tool for generating 3-Part Specifications in CSI (Construction Specification Institute) format. 3-Part Specifications are easily incorporated into project plans. The Sun Management Calculator provides solar, optical and thermal properties of Pilkington glass products. It includes a variety of exterior appearance color options, a range of glass thicknesses and single or double glazing options, including the latest Low-E 4th Surface Technology. The calculator also includes project photos and links to the Pilkington project reference page for a quick review of actual projects.
With new interactive features, the Pilkington Thermal Stress Calculator will help you determine if you need to heat treat different types and combinations of glass under different conditions to resist breakage from solar induced thermal stress. With single and double glazing options, the Thermal Stress Calculator offers a wide variety of glazing combinations. It even accounts for the building's location and shadows from overhangs.
