PILKINGTON ITALIA - Стекло низкоэмиссионное Pilkington Optitherm™ S1
Pilkington Optitherm™ S1 Plus is the latest in our low-e range offering ultra low-emissivity and achieving a Ug-value of only 1.0 W/m2K when incorporated in a double glazed IGU.
It is a single stock product hence can be used for annealed, laminated and toughened applications being toughened after processing.
Pilkington Optitherm™ S1 Plus combines superior light transmittance with a highly neutral colour. It is the ultimate in thermal insulation and should be specified for any situation where excessive heat loss is a concern.
Glass from the Pilkington Optitherm™ range is designed to be assembled into insulating glazing. The low emissivity coating deposited off-line on the glass gives the Pilkington Optitherm™ range very high thermal insulation performance combined with excellent colour neutrality.
Solar energy enters the building mainly as short wave radiation but, once inside, is reflected from objects back to the glass as long wave radiation. Low-emission glass has a coating that effectively counteracts heat loss, allowing solar heat to enter and preventing the energy emitted from the interior radiating bodies from escaping. Heat loss is generally expressed as a U-value, which corresponds to the heat loss in Watts per square metre for each degree Kelvin of temperature difference between the interior and exterior (expressed as W/m2K); the lower the U-value, the better the insulation guaranteed by the product.
Basically, low-E glass reflects energy back into the room, with a significantly reduced heat loss compared to normal float glass. In addition, various types of low-e glass allow for passive solar gain of varying degrees, which helps reduce heating needs and costs, especially in the colder months.
