Product descriptionCOOL-LITE® SKN 154 and SKN 154 II are neutral-tinted solar control glasses designed for architectural glazing. They combine solar control, high visible light transmission and thermal insulation to provide year-round indoor comfort. SKN 155/155 II represent the next European generation and will be phased in gradually to replace SKN 154/154 II.
Benefits & applicationsThe neutral character of COOL-LITE® SKN produces particularly natural daylighting effects both inside and out.
- Energy saving by reducing cooling demand in summer and delivering improved thermal insulation in winter.
- Increased daylight enabling larger glazed areas without compromising solar control.
- Aesthetic neutral tint with low reflection for a discreet appearance.
Applications include:
- Offices
- Hospitals
- Schools
- Sports centres
- Retail spaces
- Restaurants
- Large south- or west-facing façades and bay windows
- Skylights and conservatory roofs
