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.
