glass&sealedunits SGG UNVEILS STADIP SKN Saint-Gobain Glass has brought together the acclaimed high performance solar control properties of Cool-lite SKN with the acoustic and safety features of its Stadip range to offer COOL-LITE STADIP SKN 165 and 174. The new additional benefits bring optimised sound insulation, safety and security benefits as well as reducing both solar gain and UV penetration to the commercial market, said Adrian Adams, Market Manager for Better Working at Saint-Gobain Glass: “With COOL-LITE STADIP SKN 165 and 174 architects and specifiers can have the best of both in a single product, opening up potential for a whole range of additional applications.” The acoustic benefits of COOL-LITE STADIP SKN 165 and 174, used in conjunction with Stadip Silence, come from the use of two panes of glass with a PVB interlayer. Alternatively, in conjunction with Stadip Protect, they can achieve P1A and P2A security accreditat ion for BS EN 356. By reducing solar gain, the products minimise the need for air conditioning, so helping to cut energy use and CO2 emissions and limit the need for secondary solar barriers such as louvres or blinds. www.saint-gobain.co.uk SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS CREATE STUNNING EFFECTS BY LAUNCHING SGG SATINOVO MATT prints as with traditional acid etched and sand-blasted glass reducing the maintenance required.
