Window or facade fabricators / installers

• Very good thermal insulation performance through very low centre pane u-values (1.1W/m²K in double glazed format) while retaining advanced neutral aesthetics.
• Greater flexibility in compliance for all frame types.
• Reduced condensation on the inner pane of glass.
• Using sealed units with PLANITHERM ULTRA N inside virtually guarantees compliance to the UK Building Regulations in terms of helping windows and facades achieve low whole window U-values.

End-users / clients

• Considerable reductions in heating bills.
• Eliminates cold areas around windows.
• Significantly reduced condensation on the inner pane.
• Maximises the transmission of natural light into the building, especially when compared with other low-e glasses.

PLANITHERM ULTRA N can be combined with many other glass products, providing a multitude of high performance, multi-functional glazing options, including:

• Solar control glazing (e.g. COOL-LITE or ANTELIO)
• Acoustic insulation (e.g.STADIP SILENCE)
• Safety and security (e.g. STADIP / STADIP PROTECT / SECURIT)
• Spandrel panel / screenprinted glazing (e.g. EMALIT EVOLUTION / SERALIT EVOLUTION)
• Self-cleaning glazing (e.g. BIOCLEAN)
• Obscured and/or decorative glazing (e.g. MASTERGLASS / Traditional Patterned glass)
• Environmentally friendly solution, given the lower CO2 emissions associated with reduced energy consumption.

* Light and solar performance according to EN 410

PLANITHERM ULTRA N must always be assembled into a double or triple glazed unit. The coating is generally placed on face 3 (and 5) of the unit, though it is possible to place the coating on face 2 without affecting the U-value. Appearance may vary slightly, so it is important to maintain consistent coating positioning throughout a particular façade.
