PVC-U is a very poor conductor of heat and therefore
makes an excellent insulator. In the construction industry, a material's
U-value measures its ability to insulate, with the lower the value, the
better the insulant.
A typical old single glazed window has a U-value of maybe 4.4 W/m²K.
REHAU frames have been tested and proven to have a U-value of 2.0 W/m²K,
Pilkington K Glass a U-Value of 1.9 W/m²K and at 'Precision Windows'
we are proud to be able to give you a U-Value of 1.1 W/m²K meaning
our frames keep in over 60% more heat than typical older frames. This conserves
energy and more importantly saves you money on your heating bill.
PILKINGTON
K GLASS™
Makes double glazing
as effective as triple glazing, cutting fuel bills and making your home
more comfortable.
Pilkington K Glass, which usually forms the inner pane of a double glazing
unit, allows less heat to escape from your windows than ordinary glass.
Thanks to a special energy saving coating which lets the sun's rays through,
but reflects heat from fires and radiators back into your home. Heat which
ordinary double glazing allows to escape. Pilkington K Glass can be toughened
or laminated for safety and security. Better insulation and no cold spots
near windows makes Pilkington K Glass perfect for conservatories.

MONEY IN COMFORT

Condensation forms
when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface such as
ordinary glass.The energy saving coating of Pilkington K Glass actually
makes the surface warmer to the touch, so condensation is reduced.

The unique properties
of Pilkington K Glass allow you to turn down your heating thermostat
and still remain just as comfortable. This saves you money on your
annual fuel bills.

Activ™ Self-Cleaning Glass
Pilkington Activ™ Self-Cleaning Glass uses the
forces of nature to maintain its clear appearance without leaving unsightly
streaks. In a dual-action process organic dirt is broken down by daylight
and is then washed away by rain, thus making it environmentally friendly
and very easy to maintain.
The benefits of self-cleaning glass are numerous. If you clean your own windows you will save time and energy as cleaning windows will be a thing of the past; if you currently employ a window cleaner, you'll save money to spend on things you really enjoy. Pilkington Activ™ Self-Cleaning Glass can also be combined with a range of different products to offer many additional benefits (such as thermal, solar and noise control).Pilkington Activ™ can be used for almost all exterior glazing situations, but is particularly well-suited to windows that are hard to reach - such as skylights - or large expanses of glass, such as in a conservatory.
Pilkington
Activ™ Blue
Is a new addition to the self-cleaning glass range, specifically designed
for conservatories. It combines all the benefits of self-cleaning with solar
control - reflecting the sun's heat to stop the interior getting too warm
in summer - giving the ideal combination to keep your conservatory clean
and cool. Pilkington Activ™ Blue combines the evolutionary benefits
of a self-cleaning coating with the solar control performance of a tinted
glass. That's why we suggest choosing a glazing unit that combines Pilkington
Activ™ Blue with a low-E glass such as Pilkington K Glass™. That
way, dual solar control and thermal insulation can help your conservatory
maintain
a comfortable temperature throughout the year.
