Since 2009, the legislation on energy efficiency of buildings imposes an upper limit of solar energy transmittance value of glazed surfaces and for this reason products which limit the entry of radiation of sun in the buildings, contributing to energy savings, are increasingly developed.

The wide range of solar control glass allows you to choose the glass with the most suitable performance characteristics, depending on the orientation of the façade and the geographic location of the building. However, solar exposure can become profoundly different due to the daily temperature range or in different periods of the year.

Pilkington Suncool™ Dynamic is a thermochromic laminated safety glass which adapts its performance according to the amount of solar heat radiation, obscuring when the temperature reaches critical levels.

Through the interaction with direct sunlight and heat, the shade of the glass changes thus ensuring a level of brightness and a temperature always pleasant inside the building.

The more direct and more intense the incident solar radiation, the darker the glass becomes.

Although it automatically darkens, this technologically advanced glass allows you to enjoy a clear view of the external environment throughout the day.

Another important feature: its transformation takes place in total autonomy, the glass darkens and clears itself without the need for manual control or electrical devices, depending on the amount of direct solar heat that hits it.

Since there are no wires or electrical devices, the system is durable and maintenance-free.

It is more widely used in glazed roofs and façades highly exposed to the sun where a very low solar factor value is required.

Pilkington Suncool™ Dynamic can help manage a building’s changing needs for solar control and natural daylight, help to save energy and contribute to sustainable environment.
