2.24 selectivity
31st January 2017

SAINT-GOBAIN BUILDING GLASS has announced the launch of a new addition to its SGG Cool-Lite Xtreme solar control range, Cool-Lite Xtreme 50/22 II, said to be the most selective triple silver product on the market with a selectivity of 2.24

The product offers a 47% light transmittance combined with a solar factor of 0.21 (which blocks 79% of the sun’s heat) and enables a low centre pane thermal insulation of 1.0W/m2K, maximising heat retention within the building. The company says incorporating Cool-Lite Xtreme 50/22 II in a commercial building can contribute towards a building’s BREEAM points and boost the overall BREEAM rating.

Exhibition Centre Liverpool (pictured) is the first UK project to fully use the product, and featuring it across the full length of its glass façade.

Saint-Gobain Building Glass Commercial Market Manager, Adrian Adams said: ‘’SGG Cool-Lite Xtreme 50/22 II is a fantastic addition to our range of solar control products. The coating has a good level of neutrality and low external reflectance, giving the glass excellent aesthetics. This new product provides architects with another tool in their design armoury to produce striking facades for their clients without compromising on high performance solar control protection.

“We believe that we have pushed the boundaries again with the product’s market leading selectivity and are sure it will have a substantial impact on the architectural concept and design of the façade due to the fact that architects may not have to work with external shading devices.”
