Solar E
Pilkington Solar E is a laminated solar control
glass, manufactured in five distinctive colours
in a standard thickness of 8.38mm. Thicker
glass is available for high wind load
requirements.
Applications
Pilkington Solar E should be specified where
solar control and daylight transmission need
to be balanced, without reflectivity. Suitable
for commercial and high-rise apartments,
Solar E can also be used for:
- office and technology parks
- atriums and overhead glazing
- public spaces
- showrooms
- residential developments.
How to specify
Glazing to be Pilkington Solar E " S4 (type),
8.38 laminated safety glass in accordance with
AS2208. A thermal safety assessment from
the manufacturer is required prior to
installation. All glazing to be in accordance
with AS1288 and Pilkington literature.
New glass and coating technology from
Pilkington provides increased solar control
with high daylight transmission and low
reflectivity
This combination of qualities is what makes
Pilkington Solar E uniquely suited to our
diverse environmental and building challenges.
New Pilkington coating technology combines
excellent solar control and thermal insulation
in a single glass without heavy tinting or
mirror-like coatings that reduce natural light.
Safety
Solar E is a Grade A laminated safety glass
(AS2208) and can be used in areas where
human safety is paramount and in overhead
glazing.
Fading Protection
99% of UV rays are eliminated, prolonging
the life of furnishing and fixtures.
Colours
S4 grey S4 green S4 blue
S4 neutral S4 standard
Features and Benefits
Improved daylight transmission
Clever design can make better use of
daylight, saving energy and reducing
operating costs.
Solar Control
Up to 65% of solar heat transmission is
eliminated, providing a good balance between
daylight and heat gain.
Thermal Insulation
A 30% improvement in insulation over
standard glass means less heat is transmitted
through Solar E, an advantage in both hot and
cold climates.
Low reflectivity
Both interior and exterior reflectivity are low,
allowing views and transparency to be
maintained.
Notes
- A thermal safety assessment is recommended prior installation, to determine that the glass is safe from thermal breakage
- Typical measured values of Pilkington production are provided _ All performance data is calculated using LBL Window 4.1 program
- ASHRAE standard summer conditions are used _ UV is from 300"380nm
