Safety glass panel COOL-LITE® SKN 165

solar controlinsulatingacoustic

Description

• Insulating glass units* incorporating COOL-LITE® SKN 165 or SKN 165 II provide a high visible light transmission of 61% combined with medium solar protection (g = 0.34).
• COOL-LITE® SKN 165 can also be used as a monolithic laminated glass when the coating is protected against the PVB interlayer. * Reference composition 6-16-4 with the coating on face 2.
• These products belong to the “committed” high-performance coated glass range offering improved environmental, health and occupant comfort benefits.

Key points

• High selectivity (selectivity > 1.7): reduces lighting and cooling energy demand.
• Excellent thermal insulation in IGU (Ug = 1.0 W/m²·K).
• Thermal comfort: limits summer overheating and reduces cold-radiation feeling in winter.
• Visual comfort: high daylight admission for a given solar protection with very good external views.

Applications

• Glazing suited to new or refurbished commercial and office projects where high natural light is required while maintaining medium solar control (notably façades with moderate to high glazing ratios).
• Laminated glass with the coating protected against PVB (STADIP® COOL-LITE® SKN 165 face 1’) is well adapted to large open spaces without heating requirements (e.g. station halls, walkways).

Advantages

• When incorporated in insulating glass, combines the benefits of high-performance coated glass:
• Neutral appearance with low external reflection (RLext = 17%).
• High visible transmission of 61% for artificial lighting savings.
• Medium solar factor g = 0.34 to limit excessive cooling demand; compatible with integrated blind solutions (CLIMAPLUS® SCREEN).
• Excellent thermal insulation (Ug = 1.0 W/m²·K).
• When laminated as monolithic glass (STADIP® COOL-LITE® SKN 165 face 1’):
• Light transmission TL = 58%.
• Solar factor g = 0.37 (moderate solar protection).
• Reduced thickness and weight versus an equivalent IGU (selectivity 1.57).
• Neutral interior appearance with a slightly bluish exterior tint.
• The product STADIP® COOL-LITE® SKN 165 face 1’ benefits from CEKAL certification for certain configurations.

Technical remarks:

• Solar control coated glass with the coating on face 2, mounted in insulating glass composition 6-16-4 with a PLANICLEAR® face.
• Values relate to insulating glass with argon filling. Performance may vary depending on composition, thickness, fill gas and installation conditions.

Availability and options

• Available monolithic in 6, 8 or 10 mm (other thicknesses on request).
• Standard sizes up to 6000 x 3210 mm (other lengths on request).
• Supplied on PLANICLEAR® substrate as standard or DIAMANT® on request.
• Available in laminated safety glass (STADIP® PROTECT) from 44.2 up to 1010.2, and in STADIP® SILENCE for enhanced acoustic insulation (on request / some options made-to-order).

Handling and installation instructions

• In IGU assemblies, COOL-LITE® SKN 165 and SKN 165 II must always be edge-sealed with the coating positioned on face 2.
• COOL-LITE® SKN 165 II must always be tempered prior to IGU assembly to achieve its intended performance and appearance; it can be bent.
• Validation trials with the processor are recommended. After processing, IGUs including a SKN 165 or SKN 165 II coating have a similar appearance and can be installed side by side on the same façade.
• Only COOL-LITE® SKN 165 can be used as laminated monolithic with the coating protected against the PVB interlayer (made-to-order).

Certifications / Environmental documents

• CEKAL certification for certain laminated configurations.
• Environmental and Health Declaration Sheets (EPD / FDES) available in the technical documentation.
