OverviewPilkington Energy Advantage™ is a pyrolitically on-line coated low-emissivity (low-e) glass that significantly improves thermal insulation compared with clear float glass. It combines heat retention with a high level of solar energy transmission, providing warmer and brighter interiors during sunny periods and helping to reduce heating and lighting costs.
Benefits- Improved energy performance versus clear float glass.
- High solar heat gain (high g-value) for passive solar benefit.
- Durable coated surface, suitable for handling and standard processing.
- Compatible with lamination, toughening, bending and enamelling using standard techniques.
- Can be used monolithically or incorporated into Insulating Glass Units (IGUs).
- Available in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses.
Typical applications- Conservatory glazing
- Facade glazing
- Shopfronts
- Windows
- Roof glazing
- Residential and commercial architectural glazing
