Clayton Glass says it continues to push the boundaries in terms of what is technically achievable in conservatory glass with the launch of Smartglass Ultra 86. This glass sets new standards in terms of solar control, and with a ‘G’ value of just 0.14, Clayton Glass claims it’s some 18% better than the nearest competitor.
Smartglass Ultra 86 is described as ‘the very pinnacle’ in terms of glass technologies for conservatory, lantern roofs and glazed roof areas and currently is unsurpassed in the UK market. It is said to reflect 86% of the sun’s rays, while still offering a 15% visible light transmission, with a ‘U’ value of 1.0 W/m2K.
This new Smartglass Ultra 86 development is available in an ultra-blue tint with self cleaning and warm edge technologies, which is standard across the Smartglass range. It’s also available in five-seven working days, direct to any UK postcode and with the additional option of a pre-midday delivery from Clayton Glass.
This new super-performance glass is also part of a range of solutions that includes the ‘pioneering’ switchable Smartglass Dynamic, powered by SageGlass for lantern roofs and the recently introduced Smartglass -W. This is reportedly the industry’s first dedicated glass for conservatory side frames and bi-folding doors, where solar heat gain needs to be minimised.
Jason McCabe, commercial director of Clayton Glass, commented: “Yet again we’re pushing the boundaries of what is capable for conservatory and glazed roofing areas in terms of solar control and overall technical specification. Smartglass is the sector leader and for good reason; it’s the most comprehensive and capable range of glass in the sector and backed up by our renowned quality and service.”
