Features & Benefits

  • Self-cleaning properties reduce the need for manual cleaning, saving water and eliminating potentially harmful run-off from expensive detergents, also increasing personal safety.
  • Additional superior solar control property, reducing the need for cooling the inside of the building.
  • Superior low-emissivity, with U-values down to 1,0 W/m2K in 6-16-4 standard constructions with argon (90%).
  • Making the products highly energy-efficient, through reduced need for heating.
  • Range of light transmission and reflection, reducing the need for lighting the inside of the building.
  • Wide range of appearance and performance options, providing a solution for the most demanding designs.
  • Works even on cloudy days and during the night.
  • Highly durable pyrolytic on-line self-cleaning coating lasts the lifetime of the glass.
  • To be used solely in Insulating Glass Units (self-cleaning coating on surface #1 / solar control low-emissivity coating on surface #2).
  • Available in combination with Pilkington Optilam™, for impact resistance.
  • Available in combination with Pilkington Optiphon™, for improved noise reduction.
  • Available in annealed, toughenable, laminated forms and toughened on special request.
  • Selection of harmonising spandrel panels available, allowing freedom in design of curtain glass walls.
  • Available in a range of different sizes and thicknesses (generally available in 6 and 8 mm; 4 mm is available in some products, 10 mm is available on special request).

 

Applications


Designed to achieve optimum performance in large glazed areas, Pilkington Activ Suncool™ is suitable for both commercial and residential applications that demand high energy efficiency and self-cleaning properties. With the increased use of glass in architecture, Pilkington Activ Suncool™ is the ideal product for curtain wall glazing, creating consistent and cost-efficient attractive glass facades. Pilkington Activ Suncool™ allows the designer to control every aspect of the performance in curtain wall applications, from solar to thermal considerations to aesthetic appeal; giving clearer better looking windows.

Pilkington Activ Suncool™ is provided as an Insulating Glass Unit where the front pane of glass is coated with Pilkington Activ™ on the external surface and Pilkington Suncool™ on its inside surface. Pilkington Suncool™ high performance products such as this also incorporate ultra low-emissivity for excellent thermal control.
