Pilkington K-Glass

Brytahomes K-Glass conforms with BSEN 1279-2

Basically by using less heat to keep your home warm, less energy needs to be produced – thus lowering the overall levels of greenhouse gases.
Pilkington K-Glass usually forms the inner pane of a double glazed unit, and has a special ‘low emissive’ (Low E) coating which is a good reflector of long wave radiation (heat). This allows less heat to escape through your windows, because it reflects the heat from fires and radiators back into your home.
At the same time Pilkington K-Glass lets the suns heat through your window contributing to its energy efficiency. This free heat from the sun is known as passive solar gain and Pilkington K-Glass offers the UK’s leading performance in this aspect.
So whilst offering positive benefits to the environment, this also has great benefits for you.

Pilkington K-Glass is fitted as standard on all UPVC window and door installations.

Argon Gas Units

Argon is a colourless, odourless, non-flammable, non-reactive inert gas.

Argon is used to reduce the heat loss in sealed units by slowing down convection inside the air space. Argon gas is extremely cost efficient, and when used with softcoat glass gives you excellent thermal performances.

Argon gas increases the windows ability to insulate. Because Argon gas does not conduct heat as readily as air, it helps keep heat in during the winter and out in the summer

Softcoat – Argon gas sealed units are fitted as standard with all our Aluminium and Hardwood products and can be added to UPVC as an optional extra.
