DescriptionDouble and triple glazing designed to combine thermal insulation and high light transmission while maintaining a neutral appearance and attractive aesthetics. CLIMAPLUS® and CLIMATOP meet these objectives for residential and architectural applications.
Composition of the CLIMAPLUS double glazing- One PLANICLEAR® glass pane
- A 16 mm spacer filled with argon (noble gas) for enhanced thermal insulation
- A coated glass on the cavity side with a metallic layer applied by magnetron sputtering under vacuum: ECLAZ® ZEN or ECLAZ LUMI®
- Assembly of the two panes using a double sealing barrier
Composition of the CLIMATOP triple glazing- Two outer panes (1 and 3) coated on the cavity side with a metallic layer deposited by magnetron sputtering: PLANITHERM® XN or ECLAZ LUMI®
- A double 16 mm spacer filled with argon (noble gas) for enhanced thermal insulation
- One central PLANICLEAR® glass pane
- The three glass panes are assembled with double sealing barriers
Applications- Renovation and new build
- Houses
- Apartments
- Public buildings
- Offices
Benefits- Energy efficiency: combination of strong thermal performance and high light transmission to reduce heating demand and CO2 emissions
- Visual comfort: high light transmission levels (up to 83% for double glazing and up to 77% for triple glazing depending on version) with neutral colour rendering
- Thermal comfort: very low U-value for CLIMATOP (down to 0.6 W/m².K) limiting heat losses
