Features & Benefits
- Reduces summer heat gain and winter heat loss when compared to ordinary clear glass;
- Depending on climate region and energy requirements, offers a broad range of solar and thermal control;
- Available as a Grade A safety toughened or laminated glass
Applications
Residential and commercial glazing
Range
- Sunergy® series is broadly available in two ranges;
- High visible light transmission (VLT%) with mid SHGC performance - using Neutral colour tone glass option in an IGU provides VLT% around 60% and SHGC 0.50-0.47.
- Mid to lower VLT% with low SHGC – using Grey and Green tones in an IGU with VLT% between 50-23% and SHGC 0.32-0.28.
- Glass thickness range 4/5/6/8/10mm in single monolithic form and 6.38-13.52mm single laminated. Other thicknesses and sizes on application.
Design & Glazing Notes
When compared to ordinary non coated clear glass, Low-E glass can introduce some added complexities in relation to selection of glass types, manufacture and installation. For more information (Download)
