    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.).
