We offer a wide variety of Smart Glass options including the industry leading Cool-Lite SKN 176 II High Performance Solar Control Glazing
The purpose of Smart Glass is to go above and beyond normal glazing
Today's double and triple glazing is already multiple times better insulated than the double glazing used just ten or so years ago - so it's already great at keeping you warm
Smart Glass is designed to work for you all year round, however, and in particular in areas that are highly exposed
The Climate Control Range
At the heart of the Smart Glass range lies tried and tested technology, specially developed by one of the world’s largest glass manufacturers
Smart Glass
We offer a wide variety of Smart Glass options including the industry leading Climate Control Glazing
Feel the difference
The Climate Control range of glass brought to the market a high-performance product that brought new standards to the industry. With the whole range offering a U-value of 1.0, and UV protection, we are very proud to offer a leading glass system from the solar glass market
The range made is up of Climate Control and Climate Control Clear will allow you to specify your glazing to fit most circumstances, and to suit both roof and frames. Climate Control is suitable for residential and commercial installations,
How does performance glass work?
Climate Control Performance Glass utilises a Low-E and Solar control combination coating, with an Argon filled cavity, to control the amount of visible light, UV and heat that pass through the glazed unit
Glass unit construction
Performance Glass sealed units are constructed using various layers / components, to help bring the systems unique benefits

Light Transmission
70%
The special microscopic coating applied to COOL-LITE SKN 176 II allows for clarity and neutrality, with no unwelcome tint which can detract from a building’s looks. It is designed to optimise light transmittance too, reduces the requirement for interior lighting during daylight hours – this helps reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions even further
u-Value
1.0u
U-value measures internal heat loss, the lower the number, the greater the insulation
g-Value
0.37
Lower g-Values mean less heat gain, helping keep indoor temporatures more controllable
Visible light transmission 34%
Softens the impact of natural light through the roof of your conservatory, for increased comfort
Visible Light Transmittance: This is the percentage of visible light directly transmitted through the glass.
Solar Factor: This is the percentage of total solar energy (or heat from the sun) able to pass through the glass.
U-Value: This is used to measure internal heat loss during cooler periods. The lower the number, the greater the insulation.
UV Transmission: Sun damaging UV rays are dramatically reduced, allowing greater protection of your furniture and fabrics.
