Yes. The Pilkington Activ™ self-cleaning coating must be glazed on surface 1, the external surface of an Insulating Glass Unit (IGU). Once incorporated into an IGU, Pilkington Activ™ can be used in combination with an extensive range of products offered by NSG Group to achieve the required benefits.
- For thermal insulation: Pilkington Activ™ can be incorporated into IGUs with Pilkington K Glass™ or Pilkington Optitherm™. If it is necessary to have a decorative glass as the inner pane, then Pilkington Activ Optitherm™ (double coated product) can be used.
Alternatively a low-e glass can be laminated to a decorative glass inside, or Pilkington Activ™ laminated to pattern and low-emissivity glass used as the inner pane. Visit the Thermal Insulation section for more information.
- For solar control: Pilkington Activ™ Blue or Pilkington Activ SunShade™ Neutral can be used. This is a light blue tinted glass or neutral coloured glass with Pilkington Activ™ on one surface. Pilkington Activ Suncool™, a dual coated product, is also available. Pilkington Activ Optilam™ I solar control laminate can also be used. Visit the Solar Control section for more information.
