Thermal Control Glass - PLANITHERM 4S

The PLANITHERM range of products consists of:

• PLANITHERM TOTAL+ - ideal for North facing elevations to capture the most of the sun's heat
• PLANITHERM ONE  - Ideal for south facing elevations or large bi-fold doors
• PLANITHERM 4S - Ideal for conservatories
• PLANITHERM ULTRA N - Ideal for commercial buildings

PLANITHERM 4S has been designed for external use in conservatory or sunroom roofs and sidewalls.

With consumers increasingly demanding high performance conservatory solutions to suit their modern lifestyle needs, it is no longer acceptable that such an important investment be unuseable for 9 months of the year due to excessively warm or cold conditions.

Results from a conservatory glazing study show that using SGG PLANITHERM 4S throughout can reduce peak summer temperatures by up to 13˚C when compared to traditional low-E glazing. Overall, the improved temperature stability throughout hot or cold periods has the potential to halve the energy required to maintain a comfortable environment all year round.

PLANITHERM 4S supplied by Glassolutions offers a number of key benefits that clearly differentiate it from other low-E products and suppliers.

Conservatory Range

Planitherm 4s is ideal for a conservatory, if you would like to know more about our conservatory range please see our conservatory glass brochure.

PLANITHERM 4S must always be assembled into a double or triple glazed unit. The coating is generally placed on face 3 of the unit in a roof and face 2 of a unit for sidewalls. Appearance may vary slightly, so it is important to maintain consistent coating positioning throughout a particular façade.
