The Glass

The glazing includes Saint-Gobain Glass’ Cool-Lite SKN 144 ||, a product designed to offer exceptional solar and thermal performance.

Cool-Lite SKN 144 II can significantly improve the energy efficiency of buildings by reducing overheating and the need for costly air conditioning during summer. It is particularly suited to large areas of glazing where superior, solar control performance is required whilst at the same time noticeably reducing excessive heat loss in cold weather conditions.
