Easy to process glass

Thanks to advanced coating technology, new SGG E-CLEAR A provides glass processors with an easier to process, more durable low-E solution that does not require edge-deletion when used with approved sealants. Moreover and to simplify daily business of glass processor, new SGG E-CLEAR A is a single stock product for both annealed and tempered applications with an extended storage shelf life and improved toughening cycle time.

Energy Efficiency

SGG E-CLEAR A has been designed to optimise thermal performance with solar gain, enabling it to achieve a minimum ‘B’ Window Energy Rating with SGG PLANICLEAR standard clear float counter-pane and warm-edge spacer, comfortably complying with current and potential future tightening of the Building Regulations.
