4mm option added to high solar selectivity glass
5th May 2015

SAINT-GOBAIN has added a 4mm option of its 70-37 combination SGG Cool-Lite SKN 176 II, primarily designed for the commercial and high-end domestic markets.

Like its 6mm counterpart, SGG Cool-Lite SKN 176 II 4mm outperforms any other Saint-Gobain double silver coated glass available, combining a 70% light transmittance and 0.37 G-Value – i.e. blocking out 63% of solar heat the product provides an exceptional 1.89 solar selectivity – and a thermal insulation performance of 1.0W/m2K.

Adrian Adams, Saint-Gobain’s Market Manager, Better Working, said: “Such specification allows more natural light to enter a building while reducing both solar gain and heat loss. This not only improves well-being through a more pleasant working or living environment but also reduces energy expenditure on heating and air conditioning, in keeping with the BREEAM principles for sustainable building design.”

SGG Cool-Lite SKN 176 II 4mm is suitable for applications where toughened or heat-strengthened glass is required, enabling its use in a wide range of applications such as curtain walling, exterior structural sealant glazing, bolted glass assemblies, external wall cladding, double-skin applications and overhead and atrium glazing. The 4mm product extension provides the opportunity of applying the high performance characteristics of SGG Cool-Lite SKN 176 II in a large number of both commercial and high-end domestic applications.
