Conservatory Roof Glass Range
The increased use of glass in architecture today makes it imperative to consider the comfort of a building's occupants. Solar control glass can be an attractive feature of a building whilst at the same time minimising, or even eliminating the need for an air conditioning system, reducing running costs of the building and saving energy.
Solar control glass can be used to minimise solar heat gain and help control glare. In temperate regions, it can be used to balance solar control with high levels of natural light. Solar control glass can be specified for any situation where excessive solar heat gain is likely to be an issue, eg. bi-folding doors, glass walkways and conservatories.
All products are available in toughened Glass form for safety and security requirements, and can be combined with other benefits such as noise control and self cleaning Products.
How it works
Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorptance.
These are defined as follows:
1. Reflectance – the proportion of solar radiation reflected back into the atmosphere.
2. Direct transmittance – the proportion of solar radiation transmitted directly through the glass.
3. Absorptance – the proportion of solar radiation absorbed by the glass.
CGC SoftCoat A 1.0
The increasing cost of energy, sustainability of natural resources and the reduction of harmful CO2 Emissions are at the forefront of political and environmental concerns today. The construction industry is constantly being challenged to significantly reduce the future energy requirement in buildings, the greatest energy loss being that of heat through the external envelope of a building. In comparison with other construction materials, state-of-the-art insulating glass units provide excellent thermal insulation together with high transparency. SoftCoat A 1.0 is a soft coat Low E glass, which when combined with Argon Gas can get U values on a Double glazed Sealed unit down to 1.0 created using the most advanced magnetron glass coating technology.
