Pilkington SuperGrey™


Pilkington SuperGrey™ is a low-reflective body-tinted glass which offers dramatic, deep cool grey appearance, increasing visual privacy and dramatically reducing read-through from interior shading devices.

Pilkington SuperGrey™ combines stunning exterior aesthetics and unsurpassed interior glare control with the best solar control performance of any tinted float glass in the industry.

The product soften bright daylight and reduce glare, making it perfect for applications near computers and video display screens.

Benefits

  • Uncoated glass which provides the performance of reflective glass.
  • Enhanced visual privacy and reduced read-through from interior shading devices.
  • Pilkington SuperGrey™ has the best solar control of any uncoated glass, providing the lowest shading coefficient of any float glass and a better shading coefficient than many reflective glass products.
  • Unsurpassed light and glare control, improving visual privacy and reducing the need for blinds or shades.
  • Distinctive aesthetics inside and outside, offering a deep, cool grey tint from the exterior, whilst providing a remarkably crisp, comfortable view from the interior as they offer a neutral colour from the inside.
  • Uniform, no read-through look between spandrel and vision glass areas eliminating the need for an opacifier in the spandrel glass.
  • Pilkington SuperGrey™ offers low UV transmittance, significantly outperforming other tinted and coated glass products (in 6 mm it blocks approximately 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays).
  • Additional thermal insulation performance when combined in an insulating glass unit with a low-emissivity glass.
  • Can be laminated, toughened, bent and enamelled using standard techniques.
  • Can be used in monolithic form or incorporated in insulating glass units.
  • Available in 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm thicknesses.

 

Applications


Pilkington SuperGrey™ is ideal where architectural designs or restrictions prohibit structures with high reflectance. Common applications include low, mid and hi-rise buildings, such as hospitals, educational institutions, offices and retail skylight applications.

Where a safety glass is required, they can be specified as toughened or laminated glass.

To achieve additional thermal insulation, the product has to be combined in an insulating glass unit with a low-emissivity glass.

Spectrum Calculation Program

Pilkington Spectrum is a Windows-based glass performance model which enables you to quickly and efficiently calculate key properties of insulating glass units without the need to construct and measure them. 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.
  • Ultra violet (uv) transmittance and colour rendering index (Ra).
  • Other properties (e.g. pendulum body impact resistance, fire resistance, resistance to manual attack, etc.).
