Window energy ratings (Energy Efficient Glass)

 

 

 

Type of low-E glass

PLANITHERM TOTAL+ is one of the most energy efficient glass products for Window Energy Ratings.

With its optimised balance of very low emissivity and high solar gain SGG PLANITHERM® TOTAL+ can improve the energy index for a given window by as much as 13kWh/m2/year* when compared to traditional hard coated low-E products.

This performance advantage can help fabricators and installers comfortably meet the proposed Window Energy Rating band C (or better) requirements of Document L of the Building Regulations using standard double glazed units for the majority of windows. A and B ratings are also more easily achievable

In addition, SGG PLANITHERM TOTAL+ has a number of other clear benefits, which is why it is the UK’s leading high performance low-E coating brand.
