When designing your conservatory, the choice of glass or polycarbonate roof is an important one. To enable you to use your conservatory all year round, you need a glazing material that deflects heat from the sun in the summer and retains the warmth from heating appliances in the winter. You may also want a material that allows maximum light into your home.
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a lower cost alternative to glass and it can be treated to
offer excellent solar protection and thermal properties, but until now this
has been at the cost of light transmission.
Polyspan Optimum is a revolutionary new polycarbonate that has the best solar
control, in combination with light transmission, available on the market today.
It is available in blue or grey for use with any Ultraframe roofing system.
Conservaglass
Conservaglass represents a new generation of glazing options. In addition
to keeping the sun's energy out in summer and keeping the interior warm
in winter, it stays cleaner for longer that conventional glass. Not only
does it stay cleaner for longer but a transparent coating bonded into
the external surface of the glass (not sprayed on to the sealed unit after
production like some competitor products) uses the power of ultraviolet
rays and the rain to break down dirt and grime and wash it clean away.
So whether it's for your roof only or includes the side frames too, specify
Conservaglass and enjoy the comfort of your conservatory all year round.
Product features
and benefits
| • | Blocks around 60% of the heat from the sun with excellent light transmission |
| • | True self-cleaning glass - infrequent cleaning required and easier to clean that standard glass* |
| • | Excellent thermal performance in winter - very low 'U' value. |
Aspects of performance explained:
SHGC**
A measure of 0.38 means the material lets 38% of the sun's energy through,
i.e. 62% is blocked, so the lower the value the better.
'U' Value
A measure of how well the material retains heat, the lower the figure
the more efficient as heat is retain inernally for longer
