Pilkington Sundym Select

Pilkington Sundym Select

Overview

Pilkington Sundym™ Select is the latest glazing innovation from Pilkington Automotive.

Utilising state of the art Suspended Particle Device (SPD) technology, Pilkington Sundym™ Select laminated glazing affords the driver complete control of light levels within the vehicle.

A simple switch is all that is required to vary the light transmission between near total darkness (<1%) to almost clear glass (~50%) in a matter of seconds.

Pilkington Sundym™ Select also combines state of the art infra red reflective technology with enhanced ultra violet protection to provide the highest level of solar protection available in any, mass produced, vehicle glazing to date.
