COOL-LITE SKN 176 II is a solar control coating for use in residential or commercial buildings, either for façades or overhead glazing. Due to the unique properties of the coating, it is ideally suited to applications requiring a high light transmittance, low g value and excellent neutrality

The product is now also available in a 4mm version that it is ideal for residential & commercial applications. The 4mm option allows COOL-LITE SKN 176 II to be used in applications such as high end residential/low end commercial applications. This extended functionality allows more design flexibility whilst retaining excellent neutral aesthetics.

COOL-LITE SKN 176 II balances the advantages of a high performance neutral solar control product with:

• High light transmission 70%.
• Low g-value, which reduces solar gain by as much as 37%.
• Excellent U-value of 1.0W/m²K.
• High degree of neutrality.

COOL-LITE SKN 176 II can be used to create more comfortable interiors by reducing overheating and the need for costly air conditioning, whilst at the same time noticeably reducing excessive heat loss.

The high light transmittance also reduces the requirement for interior lighting during daylight hours, helping reduce energy costs even further.

SGG COOL-LITE SKN 176 II meets the durability requirements of class C of European standards EN 1096-1 and -2.

*Light and solar performance according to EN 410
