Pilkington the leading glass manufacturer has recently launched Pilkington Activâ„¢ Blue glass, which is specifically designed for conservatories.
This innovative blue glass, combines the latest dual-action self-cleaning properties with solar control technology, to prevent conservatories getting unbearably hot in the summer, or too cold in winter – a common complaint!
The attractive faint blue tinge of Pilkington Activâ„¢ Blue allows considerably less heat into the room, by reducing heat transference by approximately 43 per cent; The blue tint absorbs the heat and re-radiates it back outside.
Glass in standard windows absorbs heat from warm rooms and radiates it away from the outside surface. To retain heat and save energy at the same time, consider combining Pilkington Activâ„¢ or Pilkington Activ Blueâ„¢ with Pilkington K Glassâ„¢ on the inner pane, which stops the heat escaping and reflects the heat back into the home.
This new glass will help reduce fuel bills, and make double-glazing as effective as triple glazing!
Additional benefits:
Removes the need for conservatory blinds at a cost of approximately £1000.
The attractive blue colour has an aesthetic benefit by reducing reflection, thus providing clear exterior views.
Pilkington Activâ„¢ Blue glass is available now, through all good suppliers in the UK.
