SGG LAUNCHES COOLLITE XTREME 50/22 II
FEATURING AN OUTSTANDING
SELECTIVITY OF 2.27
Saint-Gobain Glass is
once again leading the
field in high performance solar control
glass with the launch
of Cool-lite Xtreme
50/22 II, which features
Europe’s highest solar
selectivity for a to be
toughened triple silver
product.
Adrian Adams, Market Manager for Saint Gobain Glass
Better Working Products said:
“SGG Cool-lite Xtreme 50/22
II is aimed at the premium
construction market in response to specifiers demand
for the very best in light
transmission while eliminating the risk of overheating.
The combination of high
light transmittance and low
solar factor – giving a selectivity figure of 2.27 – reduces
the need for both heating
and air conditioning.
“This not only significantly
decreases energy consumption, making any building
more environmentally friendly and enhancing its BREEAM
SGG Cool-lite Xtreme 50/22
II combines 50% light transmission with a Solar Factor
of only 0.22 – i.e. blocking
78% of solar heat – along
with a thermal insulation
of 1.0W/m2k the product
outperforms all double silver
coated products available in
the market.
BOOST FOR PRO-INSTALLER DISTRIBUTION
Trade outlets now 600 nationwide.
Pro Installer is forging
ahead even more rapidly
now as publishers, the
South Yorkshire-based
Clearview Group Ltd,
increase its investment in
the trade’s popular newspaper.
Director Steve Sidebottom says:
“Since we launched Pro-Installer, we have built up content,
readership and distribution and
we are delighted to announce
that we have just added 300 new
trade counters to our nationwide distribution list.
“This takes our total number of
trade outlets to more than 600
and the number of monthly copies being distributed to 30,000.
“Our Pro-Installer features
are being added to month on
month, with fresh content and
ideas to continue this growth,”
Steve added. “We will continue
to tap into this important segment of the market on an ongoing basis, as part of our Group’s
overall expansion plans.”
The Group, which moved to
larger new premises earlier this
year, recently increased both
its editorial and in-house sales
teams in line with its policy of
constant product improvement.
It is also refreshing its online
Forums: Forum Editor Danny
Basden w ill now be responsible
for the content and dealing with
any responses that may be required to keep this section both
topical and current. A recent
addition to the editorial team,
Danny aims to promote current
status, but the high level of
natural light also creates a far
more pleasant working environment. The fact that SGG
Cool-lite Xtreme 50/22 II is
a ‘to be toughened product’
makes it ideal for commercial
applications, such as facades
or overhead glass, where a
toughened glass products are
required.
“Also, we believe the fact
that an architect may not
have to work with any kind
of external shading devices could have a substantial
impact on the concept and
design of a building and
subsequent facade.”
