Overview
Pilkington EverGreen™ establish new standards of quality, aesthetics and performance for green body-tinted glass. This product offers solar control characteristics and high selectivity, in a nice shades of green.
Pilkington EverGreen™ provides high light transmittance when compared to other tinted float glasses whilst still providing solar control, resulting in a high selective glass.
The solar control properties and colour densities of the product varies with thickness, so that glass with properties appropriate to a particular application can be chosen.
Pilkington EverGreen™ is ideally suited to both hot and cold climates. The product absorbs much of the sun’s heat and UV rays while still letting through a substantial level of daylight.
Where a safety glass is required, it can be specified as toughened or laminated glass. It is ideal for any applications whether commercial or domestic, where an uncoated solar control glass in a refreshing soft green colour is required.
To achieve additional thermal insulation, the product has to be combined in an insulating glass unit with a low-emissivity glass.
