K2 Celsius™

 

Celsius performance glass has a unique micro-coating which enables it to deflect excessive heat from the sun away from the conservatory and to reflect heat from inside the home back into the property. In this way, Celsius keeps conservatories warm in winter and cool in summer, helping to create a room for all seasons.

 

Features and Benefits

  • Improved Insulation
  • Greater Heat Reflection
  • Reduced Glare
  • Improved Sound Insulation
  • Minimal Maintenance
  • Reduced Condensation
  • Enhanced Energy Efficiency

How Does Celsius Performance Glass Work?

Pilkington Activ Blue

 

This attractive blue glass combines dual-action, self-cleaning properties with solar control performance for a cooler internal environment. Specially designed for the optimum roof unit, Pilkington Activ™ Blue is a revolutionary new glass that is perfect for use in conservatories. It uses daylight and rainwater to breakdown and wash away organic dirt from exterior surfaces, making it ideal for hard to reach places that are difficult to clean. Its unique blue colour also helps keep internal temperatures cool whilst still maintaining excellent light transmittance.

 

Features and Benefits

  • Attractive blue colour offers excellent aesthetics and optimum performance.
  • Excellent solar control performance combined with good light transmission.
  • Uses daylight and rainwater to break down and wash away organic dirt from the exterior of the glass.
  • Works even on cloudy days and during the night.
  • Pilkington Activ™ coating lasts the lifetime of the glass.
  • Easily cleaned during dry spells by hosing down.
  • Low exterior reflection improves aesthetics of the conservatory.

Polycarbonate

 

Polycarbonate is a special type of translucent plastic that is used in most conservatory roofs. It has been developed to provide a light, inexpensive and easy to install alternative to glass, whilst still offering similar levels of heat insulation and light transmission to standard double glazing.
