Pilkington Suncool™

 

Pilkington Suncool Optilam™ is a range of  off-line coated, laminated, solar control and low-emissivity (low-e) glass, chosen by UK specifiers to limit solar heat gain (heat from the sun) in buildings through glass.

Intended to meet the demands of modern UK buildings, it supports compliance with energy and safety regulations without compromising on clarity.

Spectrum Calculation Program

Pilkington Spectrum is a Windows-based glass performance model which enables you to quickly and efficiently calculate key properties of a wide range of single glazing and insulating glass units. Also available as an app for mobile devices, you can use Pilkington Spectrum to provide the following information:

  • Light and solar properties (transmittance, reflectance, absorptance, g value, etc.).
  • Centre pane Ug-value.
  • Sound insulation values.
  • Global Warming Potential (GWP), or carbon footprint.
  • Ultra violet (uv) transmittance and colour rendering index (Ra).
  • Other properties (e.g. pendulum body impact resistance, fire resistance, resistance to manual attack, etc.).
