Pilkington Botanical™ provides the perfect solution for greenhouses, conservatories and winter gardens. It includes a wide range of glass solutions dedicated to protect, enhance and facilitate better propagation and crop growth, as well as options to toughen, bend or laminate.

Our Special Applications range covers: Pilkington Microwhite™ - an extremely thin, high-grade low-iron float glass manufactured to precise standards, Pilkington Mirropane™ - high reflective on-line coated glass for one-way vision,

How it works Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorptance. These are defined as follows: Reflectance – the proportion of solar radiation reflected back into the atmosphere. Direct transmittance – the proportion of solar radiation transmitted directly through the glass.

Solar control Reducing heat from the sun. Having too much heat or light enter through the window during the warmer months can present as much of a problem as trying to keep heat in during the colder ones.

Our wide range of high quality products are used in the three leading solar technologies aimed at converting solar energy into electricity: thin film photovoltaics, crystalline silicon photovoltaics and concentrated solar power applications.

EMI/RFI shielding or other electro-optical and insulating applications, there is a durable pyrolytic NSG TEC™ glass to meet your specific performance requirements. NSG TEC™ offers a wide range of thermal and heated glass performance properties, while it also increases light transmittance and optimizes electrical conductivity.

Solar Thermal Collectors Characteristics of solar thermal collectors Solar water heating systems are generally composed of solar thermal collectors, a water storage tank or interconnecting pipes and a fluid system to move the heat from the collector to the tank. The sun's energy is used to heat water flowing through the interconnecting pipes.

The NSG Group offers a range of specialised glass and coated glass products used in all of the leading solar energy technologies, including thin film photovoltaics, crystalline silicon photovoltaics, concentrated solar power technology and solar thermal collectors.
