Pilkington SuperGrey™

Project References

Overview

Pilkington SuperGrey™ is low-reflective body-tinted glasses which offer dramatic, deep cool grey appearance, increasing visual privacy and dramatically reducing read-through from interior shading devices. It combines stunning exterior aesthetics and unsurpassed interior glare control with the best solar control performance of any tinted float glass in the industry.

This product softens bright daylight and reduce glare, making them perfect for applications near computers and video display screens.

Applications

Pilkington SuperGrey™ are 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.

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

Benefits

Uncoated glasses which provide the performance of reflective glass
Enhanced visual privacy and reduced read-through from interior shading devices
Pilkington SuperGrey™ is 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 glasses
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 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 used in monolithic form or incorporated in insulating glass units
Available in 5 mm and 6 mm thicknesses
