Reflex takes the heat out of conservatories

While South Australia is currently enduring a literally explosive heat wave where temperatures are ‘only’ nudging 43 - 46?C, in July and August even in chilly old England, temperatures inside a south-facing conservatory can easily reach 50?C if glazed with standard glass units.

That’s why Reflex Glass is promoting its strongest USP in a new marketing campaign to highlight the solar heat reflecting ability of its Reflex insulated glass units.

The company claims that a conservatory glazed with Reflex+ Azure in the roof and Reflex Clear in the side frames will be up to 15?C cooler even in the hottest summer months, compared to ordinary double glazed units.

When a conservatory is glazed with standard IG units the space behaves like a greenhouse, collecting solar heat build-up and getting hotter and hotter. Even on sunny days in spring or autumn the temperature heat gain from the sun can make a conservatory uncomfortable. By contrast, Reflex+ Azure has been proven to cut temperatures and means that the conservatory continues to be enjoyed as a tear-round benefit to the householder.

Reflex+ Azure possesses its reflective quality because the glass features a selective multilayer coating which the company applies during assembly of the unit. This super thin layer rejects 99% of damaging UV light that would otherwise fade carpets and furniture, but more importantly, it also prevents up to 95% of Infra Red heat build-up. Because the frequency of light that transfers heat energy is almost totally blocked, the result is a cooler conservatory during the summer months and on sunny days.

All premium branded Reflex units are manufactured to BS EN1279 parts 2 & 3 and come with a 20 year unit seal warranty.

Accept no substitutes, Reflex is only manufactured at the company’s landmark Leicester-based factory alongside their new ‘switchable’ Smart Glass technology which has seen a steady growth in sales despite the sharp downturn in UK building work.
