STAYCOOL SOLAR CONTROL GLASS
Conservatory Glass For Year-Round Comfort
STAYCOOL glass not only protects you from direct solar heat and reflects glare during the summer but this innovative conservatory roof glazing provides a 1.0 U-value ensuring maximum heat retention during the winter.
Getting the most out of your new conservatory is a crucial consideration when deciding on the specification for the double glazing in the roof and side frames. Our STAYCOOL glass is designed to provide superior solar control benefits whilst at the same time providing an energy efficient glazing so you can be confident of utilising your new conservatory all year round.
STAYCOOL Roof Glazing 1.0 U-value
STAYCOOL roof glazing uses the latest solar control glass technology to reflect 78% of solar heat away from the conservatory roof glass. It's subtle green tint reduces the glare of the sun by 68% and the external surface of the roof glass is self-cleaning. This premium double glazing also provides a 1.0 U value maximising heat retention during the winter.
STAYCOOL Side Frame Glazing
STAYCOOL double glazing in the windows and door of your new conservatory also provide solar control properties reflecting 57% of direct heat from the sun and reducing glare by 35%. In addition this energy efficient double glazing has a 1.1 U-value and will retain maximum heat during the colder months of the year helping to keep your conservatory more comfortable. Conservatories supplied with polycarbonate roofs are also supplied with STAYCOOL glass in the windows and door for maximum insulation during the winter.
STAYCOOL glass will reduce the temperature of a glass roof conservatory on hot summer days by 20of when compared to Pilkington K and antisun glass.
UV Light Protection
STAYCOOL glass also provides superb protection against UV light which can discolour or fade your furnishings and flooring especially in South and West facing conservatories. STAYCOOL roof glass virtually eliminates UV light providing 94% protection and the side frame glazing nearly 30% more protection than standard glass.
Low Solar Gain
Most Low E double glazing such as K glass have a high solar factor allowing 'free' solar heat to pass through the sealed unit and the internal low e glass will then effectively trap the heat inside the room. This extra heat in the summer can make the room or conservatory uncomfortably hot especially if south or west facing. STAYCOOL double glazing does not have a high solar heat gain and it's solar control external glass reflects direct heat from the sun and UV rays to ensure your conservatory is cooler in the summer.

A cheap conservatory will cost you more...
At the present time most conservatories are exempt from Building Regulations so with no enforced standards for conservatory glass many conservatory suppliers still provide cheaper standard air filled glass sealed units that do not incorporate any type of heat reflecting glass to retain heat in the winter or offer any protection against solar heat in the summer. You should think carefully before accepting such a low specification conservatory as any saving you may make now is likely to be offset by increased winter heating bills and during the summer the conservatory could prove virtually unuseable due to excessive internal high temperatures.
Please visit our Insulation Values page for important facts that you need to consider to ensure that your conservatory will be a year round extension to your home. Choosing a lesser specification product could mean that you are unable to sit in the conservatory on hot summer days and you could find it expensive to keep it warm in the winter.
