Roof glazing from solaglas: DGU family offers easy clean, security and noise reduction

The basic Comfort unit combines high tech products to create a safety unit with both advanced solar control and thermally insulating properties. Solaglas says that it provides twice as much heat reflection as a standard DGU, due to a solar factor of only 38 per cent, and gives over 50% more heat insulation thanks to the 1.1 centre pane U-value. Units have a blue/grey tint and feature an easy-clean coating.

UV protection

The second product in the range is the Comfort Protect unit which, in addition to all the benefits of the basic unit, also offers significant protection against harmful UV rays by blocking out over 99%. This means that the unsightly fading of furnishings, often a real problem in a conservatory environment, is reduced. The unit also gives peace of mind by offering added security against objects breaking through the glass roof and, when combined with laminated wall units, against break and entry.

Noise reduction

Additional comfort is created with the Comfort Silence unit. This product, which has all the features of the Protect unit, also gives a clearly audible 6-7 decibel reduction in noise levels over and above the basic unit (which already gives a 100% sound reduction compared to polycarbonate roofs). The benefit is particularly noticeable when it is raining, and also offers protection against nuisance noise from airplanes, roads, railways and even noisy neighbours when combined with acoustically laminated wall units.

The SGG Climaplus Comfort units are manufactured at Solaglas MSN’s specialist DGU site in Leeds which has, over the years, built up a reputation for manufacturing high specification, non-standard units.

To assist sales to both commercial and domestic buyers, literature is readily available to Solaglas customers, in addition to product samples and heat reflection demonstration units.
