What glass would need to be specified for a conservatory south facing and also incorporating Pilkington K Glass™ in the double glazed unit?
The Pilkington Optifloat™ Tinted (formerly known as Pilkington Antisun™) range has long been an industry standard for low-to-medium performance glass with the Pilkington Suncool™ range suiting high performance needs. The Pilkington Eclipse Advantage™ range fits between the two. To maximise the reduction of solar gain, the ideal position for a solar control glass (e.g. Pilkington Optifloat™ Tinted) in a double glazing unit is the outer pane. Pilkington K Glass™ is not a solar control glass: however, its presence in a double glazing unit can considerably improve its thermal insulation (reduce the U-Value) over conventional units. The ideal position for the Pilkington K Glass™ low emissivity coating is on the inner pane facing the cavity. Hence, if the requirements are for reduced solar gain and improved thermal insulation, both types of glass can be combined in one unit. Both Pilkington K Glass™ and Pilkington Optifloat™ Tinted are available in toughened and laminated form. Better insula
