Solar control glass panel COOL-LITE® SKN 165

floatdouble-glazedtemperable

Product description
COOL-LITE® SKN 165 & SKN 165 II are double-silver solar control glass products designed to limit solar heat gain while maintaining high visible light transmission, providing year-round indoor comfort in façades and overhead glazing.

Benefits & Applications

• Energy saving — reduces air-conditioning needs during sunny periods and provides thermal insulation in winter.
• Increased daylight — high visible light transmission supports larger glazed areas.
• Aesthetic — neutral colour tint with low reflection across viewing angles.

COOL-LITE® SKN 165 (II) reduces solar overheating of interiors and is suitable for façades and overhead glazing in residential and commercial buildings. Typical applications include:

• Offices
• Hospitals
• Schools
• Sports centres
• Retail stores
• Restaurants
• Large south- or west-facing glazing and bay windows
• Skylights and conservatory roofs
• Double-skin façades (DSF)

Note: in standard 6/16/4 DGU configuration, with coating on face 2, performance is given according to EN 410.

Appearance
COOL-LITE® SKN 165 & 165 II provide colour neutrality at different viewing angles and a low level of reflection while delivering the intended solar control performance.
