What is Pilkington K Glass and how does it benefit the customer?
Pilkington K Glass™ is a high quality clear float glass with a specially formulated, permanent, transparent Low E coating applied pyrolitically to one surface during glass manufacture. The coating allows the sun’s energy to enter the building and when incorporated into insulating units, significantly reduces heat loss. It should only be used in insulating units with the coated surface facing the airspace. Advantages Pilkington K Glass™ • Improve thermal insulation (lower heat losses), thus saving energy and reducing CO 2 emissions. • Retain warmth in rooms, increasing occupant comfort • Reduce heating bills • Reduce condensation, cold spots and downdraughts near windows, increasing useful floor space • Available as toughened or laminated options for safety and security • A true low emissivity glass (emissivity less than 0.2) • Specifically designed to reduce heat loss through a window • Low emissivity coating allows the free short wave energy from the sun to enter the building, but act
