In hot climates, solar control glass can be used to minimise solar heat gain and help control glare. In temperate regions, it can be used to balance solar control with high levels of natural light.

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.

Pilkington Activ™ SunShade combines dual‑action self‑cleaning technology with solar‑control performance. It uses daylight to break down dirt and rain to wash it away, while its tinted layer reduces heat gain and glare.

The range has products which combine both self-cleaning and solar control properties, making them highly desirable amongst homeowners looking for the ultimate in glass solutions.

Using daylight to break down organic dirt and rainwater to rinse it away, this coating dramatically reduces maintenance. Available clear or tinted (Blue, Bronze, SunShade), with solar-control and insulating options for windows, facades, conservatories, and skylights.
