What is Pilkington K Glass™?
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. The effect of the Pilkington K Glass™ coating is to reflect the long wavelength energy (generated by heating systems, lighting and building’s occupants) back into the building. However, the transparent coating still permits the transmission of short wavelength energy originating from the sun. This solar energy is absorbed by the internal surfaces of the building and re-radiated at the longer wavelengths, which are then reflected, by the coating, back into the building. Pilkington K Glass™ is an ‘on-line’ glass which has a hard coating applied during glass manufacture. Consequently, it
