Solar control glass can be an attractive feature of a building whilst at the same time minimising, or even eliminating the need for an air conditioning system, reducing running costs of the building and saving energy. In hot climates, solar control glass can be used to minimise solar heat gain and help control glare.

Discover the Pilkington Suncool™ Range | premium off-line coated solar control and low‑emissivity glass made in St Helens, UK. Optimised for energy efficiency, thermal insulation (U‑value down to 1.0 W/m²K), high light transmission, and striking aesthetics.

Using daylight to break down organic dirt and rainwater to rinse it away, this coating dramatically reduces maintenance. Available clear or tinted (Blue, Bronze, SunShade), with solar-control and insulating options for windows, facades, conservatories, and skylights.

Pilkington Activ™ SunShade combines dual‑action self‑cleaning technology with solar‑control performance. It uses daylight to break down dirt and rain to wash it away, while its tinted layer reduces heat gain and glare.
