Overview
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 Solar-E™ products can be used in single glazing applications provided that the coating faces the interior of the building. They provide attractive solutions to various applications where good light transmittance with enhanced solar control performance is required.
Thanks to their low exterior light reflectance the products are widely used for modern glass façades where high reflectance is prohibited or undesirable. Where a safety glass is required,the products can be specified as toughened or laminated glass.
It is well-suited to both commercial facades and residential applications where high reflectance is prohibited or undesirable, a neutral aesthetic is preferred and energy efficiency in both summer and winter is required at a reasonable price.
Benefits
