A. For a single pane of 4mm Pilkington Activ™ Blue the UV transmission is 15%. If you want to reduce the UV transmission to very low levels, install Pilkington Activ™ as part of an insulating glass unit with the other pane being Pilkington Optilam™. Note that even with very low UV transmission levels there is still a risk of fading and UV damage to furnishings etc. due to the power of the sun and the long periods of exposure behind the glass.
