Celcius Performance Glass - Solar Control Self Cleaning Glass
"Keeping you cooler in summer and warmer in winter"
At the heart of the Celcius range lies tried and
tested technology specially developed by on the largest glass manufacturers in
the world, with over 35 years experience in glass production.
More consumers are becoming increasing aware of the benefits
of glass roof compared with polycarbonate. Aside from aesthetics,
glass tends to have a much longer lifespan compared to other roofing
products and coupled with ease of maintenance; it is now a preferred
option by many discerning customers. The Celcius range was one of the
first glazing options on the, market to offer the unique combination of
the heat reflection and thermal insulation, but Celcius has even more benefits.
Rainfall and traffic noise are reduce by over 100% when compared
to 25mm polycarbonate. The argon gas filled units reduce the noise even further
as well as offering greater insulation properties. Destructive UV rays are reduced
by up to 88% thus offering protection for furniture and fabrics from the sun damage.
Celcius clear with its neutral appearance for side frames and certain roof installations
offers the complete performance solution.
Technical Data
The table below gives you a clear idea of the impressive performance of Celcius, Celcius
Clear and Celcius Plus when compared to standard glass or polycarbonate.
Visible Light transmittance
This is the percentage of visible light directly transmitted through the glass.
Solar Factor
This is the percentage of total solar energy (or heat from the sun) able to pass through the glass.
U-Value
This is used to measure internal heat loss during cooler periods. The lower number, the greater insulation.
UV Transmission
Sun damaging UV rays are dramatically reduced, allowing greater protection of you furniture and fabrics.
