SETTING THE CONSERVATORY STANDARD
»»CLAYTON GLASS CONTINUES TO
push the boundaries in terms of what is
technically achievable in conservatory glass
with the launch of SMARTGLASS® Ultra 86.
This glass sets new standards in terms of solar
control and, with a G-value of just 0.14, it’s
some 18% better than the nearest competitor.
Its use is therefore recommended for the most
demanding of conservatory installations.
SMARTGLASS® Ultra 86 is the very
pinnacle in terms of glass technologies for
conservatory, lantern roofs and glazed roof
areas and currently is unsurpassed in the UK
market. It reflects an impressive and sector
leading 86% of the sun’s rays, while still
offering a 15% visible light transmission, with
a U-value of 1.0 W/m2K.
This new SMARTGLASS® Ultra 86
development is available in an ultra-blue
tint with true self-cleaning and warm edge
technologies, which is the standard across the
SMARTGLASS® range. It’s also available in
5-7 working days direct to any UK postcode
and with the additional option of a pre-midday
delivery.
Jason McCabe, Commercial Director of
Clayton Glass, commented: “Yet again we’re
pushing the boundaries of what is capable for
conservatory and glazed roofing areas in terms of
solar control and overall technical specification.”
