Pilkington Solar-E™ Low-E Glass can be used in single glazing applications provided that the coating faces the interior of the building. An attractive solution where good light transmittance with enhanced solar control performance is required. With its low exterior light reflectance, this product is widely used for modern glass facades where high reflectance is prohibited or undesirable. Where a safety glass is required, it can be specified as toughened or laminated glass.

• Optimizes Solar Control and energy efficiency of clear I.G. units to create an excellent Sun Management™ Glass System. Reduces the need for heating and cooling the building.
• Reduces Heat Gain, with a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of only 0.44, compared to SHGCs of 0.70 for clear float and approximately 0.61 for other pyrolytic Low-E glasses. Low SHGC values can result in significant savings in utility costs.
• Reduced Glare and Improved Visibility: Helps control glare, reducing the need for blinds and shades while balancing low exterior and interior reflectance for better visibility through the glass.
• Durable pyrolytic surface offers all the benefits of pyrolytic glass, including unlimited shelf life, excellent availability for reduced lead times, easy fabrication and heat treatment - and is so durable, it can be used in monolithic applications.
