Sliding window PLANISTAR® SUN

fixedglasstriple-glazed

Product description
PLANISTAR® SUN is a solar control and low-e coated glass with high selectivity for sunny, large-area double and triple-glazed windows and bays in high-end buildings. Its specific coating transmits visible light while reflecting 62% of the associated solar heat. PLANISTAR® SUN provides enhanced thermal insulation (Ug 1.0 W/m²K) that limits heat loss to the outside during cold periods. Combining thermal insulation with solar control improves building energy performance, reducing both heating and cooling needs and helping maintain comfortable temperatures year-round.

Benefits & Applications
PLANISTAR® SUN is suitable for double and triple-glazed units with large glazed surfaces (window bays, sliding doors, viewpoints) in south and west orientations, for high-end residential and non-residential buildings (schools, hospitals, hotels). It improves insulation in cold seasons and provides solar control in sunny seasons, leading to energy savings on heating and cooling and improved occupant comfort.

New house example in Seville (Spain) with reversible heat-pump: installing double glazed windows with PLANISTAR® SUN instead of standard low-e reduces electricity consumption for heating and cooling by one third and reduces air-conditioning disturbances by almost 40% (study by the Passive House Institute on behalf of Saint-Gobain, May 2023).

Appearance
The low exterior light reflection (RL 14%) and neutral aesthetics make PLANISTAR® SUN highly transparent and compatible with architectural design requirements.

Technical information
RANGE / SUBSTRATE: PLANICLEAR® (clear glass) and ORAÉ® (low-carbon glass) in some EU countries.

THICKNESS: 3 to 8 mm.

SIZE: Standard size (Jumbo 3.21 x 6.00 m) and standard stock sizes; available on demand in bespoke sizes and thicknesses, on laminated glass, and on extra-clear DIAMANT® glass for production or design optimization.

PROCESSING: PLANISTAR® SUN can be processed as a standard low-e coating. It exists in laminated versions for safety or acoustic requirements and can be combined with easy-maintenance and design functions.

• ANNEALED: available in annealed version.
• HEAT-TREATMENT: not available in to-be-tempered version (suffix II).
• INSULATED GLAZING UNIT (IGU): must be assembled into an IGU; the coating must be positioned inside the IGU.
• LAMINATION: can be laminated; place the coating outside the laminate (coating on face 4 of the laminated pane).
• ENAMELING: no general approval for enameling of silver-based high-performance coatings.
