Solar control glass is a hi-tech product developed by the glass industry to allow sunlight to pass through a window or façade while radiating and reflecting away a large degree of the sun’s heat.

Pilkington Activ Suncool™ combines excellent solar control with a range of optical performances to improve the aesthetic appearance, energy efficiency and occupier comfort of a building, as well as self-cleaning properties.

Pilkington Eclipse Advantage™ is a range of high performance solar control on-line coated clear or body-tinted glass, with unique colours and low-emissivity properties.

Absorbing Solar Control Pilkington Automotive has long been a market leader in body-tinted glass compositions. Optikool™ and EZ-KOOL® are green, optimised solar absorbing glasses, providing significant improvement to occupant comfort.

Pilkington Suncool™ works by controlling solar heat gains without significantly reducing internal light levels; designed to achieve optimum performance in large glazed areas.

You just need to decide what level of light transmission and solar heat reduction you require. NSG Group’s own Insulating Glass Units for managing solar heat reduction are known as Pilkington Insulight™ Sun.

Solar Control - Barriers to the Sun Intensive research over several decades has equipped the float process with ingenious ways of controlling solar energy for greater comfort and economy.

In hot conditions or for building with high internal loads, solar control glass is used to minimise solar heat gain. It allows sunlight to pass through a window or façade while radiating and reflecting away a large degree of the sun's heat.

Pilkington Solar-E™ is a range of good solar control performance on-line coated glasses offering low solar heat coefficient gain, low reflectivity, reduced glare and low-emissivity. The products are available in a range of colours – Clear, Blue-Green, EverGreen, Grey and Arctic Blue.

Pilkington Optifloat™ Tint is a range of uncoated body-tinted solar control glasses, with low light reflection and high energy absorption. The glasses come in different colours: Green, Blue-Green, Bronze and Grey.
