Solar control glass panel COOL-LITE® SKN 144 II

insulatinglaminatedfloat

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
COOL-LITE® SKN 144 II is a solar control coated glass that limits solar heat gain while maintaining substantial visible light transmission when assembled into insulated glazing units (IGU). It delivers a neutral tint and low external reflection suitable for architectural façades and large-area glazing.

BENEFITS & APPLICATIONS

• Blocks up to 77% of incident solar radiation (measured in 6/16/4 DGU with coating on face 2).
• Provides approximately 40% visible light transmission in 6/16/4 DGU with coating on face 2 (EN 410 reference configuration).
• Reduces cooling demand during sunny periods, contributing to lower air-conditioning energy use.
• Enables larger glazed areas and improved daylighting strategies while controlling solar gains.
• Neutral colour tint with low reflection for consistent façade appearance.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Commercial office façades
• Hotel and hospitality glazing
• Restaurant and retail frontages
• Educational buildings
• Curtain walling systems
• Exterior structural sealant glazing
• Bolted glass assemblies
• Cladding of external walls
• Overhead glazing and atria

APPEARANCE
COOL-LITE® SKN 144 II offers a neutral colour balance across viewing angles with low external reflectance and high optical clarity appropriate for demanding architectural applications.

ENVIRONMENTAL & SUSTAINABILITY
Available on ORAÉ® low-carbon glass to combine thermal performance and lower embodied carbon. This product is covered by a verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and holds Cradle to Cradle Certified® V4.0 Bronze status.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

• Substrates: PLANICLEAR® (clear glass), DIAMANT® (extra clear glass), ORAÉ® (low-carbon glass)
• Thickness range: 4 mm to 10 mm
• Standard size: Jumbo up to 3.21 × 6.00 m; standard stock sizes available

PROCESSING

• Heat treatment: To-be-tempered version available (suffix II). Delivered with EASYPRO® temporary surface protection. Tempering is required to achieve specified performance and appearance. Compatible with Heat Soak Test.
• Edge deletion: Edge deletion of the coating is compulsory prior to assembling.
• Insulated glazing unit (IGU): Must be assembled into an IGU with the coating positioned on face 2.
• Lamination: Can be laminated provided the coating is placed outside the laminate (coating on face 4). Validate interlayer compatibility before use.
• Bending: The to-be-tempered version (II) can be bent; results depend on process and require trials.
• Enameling: No general approval for enameling silver-based high-performance coatings; validate before use.

PERFORMANCE & TOOLS
The product provides selective solar control performance. Project-specific configurators and processing support tools are available to model glazing assemblies and validate expected thermal and optical results.

AVAILABILITY
