CONSERVATORYEXTRA
Getting even Cooler
Bioclean Aqua, the leading conservatory
roof glass from Saint-Gobain Glass
now has improved solar control with
the launch of BIOCLEAN AQUA
LOWER SOLAR FACTOR (LSF).
Smarter Glass
Clayton Glass has just launched
SMARTGLASS®-W, the
industry’s first dedicated range
of glass specifically designed for
conservatory doors and windows.
»»Sold with a three
tier proposition, the standard
SMARTGLASS®-W typically
offers 240% more solar control
than standard glass, is almost
three times better than clear glass
for heat retention and benefits
from warm edge technology.
The upgrade to
SMARTGLASS®-W Plus+
additionally provides enhanced
security and acoustics, and blocks
out 98% of the sun’s harmful
UV rays, which have proven
to damage soft furnishings in
conservatories over the years.
Better still SMARTGLASS®-W
Ultimate offers all these key
features, along with a true
self-clean coating, helping
conservatory owners enjoy a clear
vision of the world outside.
Jason McCabe,
commercial director of
Clayton Glass commented:
“SMARTGLASS®-W has been
developed to provide a better
conservatory environment for
consumers.
“Even ‘A’ rated windows fall
short in the performance tables
to SMARTGLASS®-W. We
believe that with as much glazed
area in the vertical plane as in
the horizontal (roof ) plane, the
future in conservatories is for a
total solar control solution from
floor to roof.”

»»More than a year’s
development has gone into
boosting the heat reflection of
the popular self-cleaning glass
from 78% to 82% and cutting
the g-value from 0.22 to 0.18,
without affecting the existing
1.0 U-value.
The result is a glass that will
keep indoors even cooler on
sunny summer days but give
the same heat retention in
colder weather, said Jenni Bailey,
Marketing Manager for SGG’s
Conservatory Range:
“This will be a great benefit
for end-users and a strong
selling point for installers but
because it is single coated, it
will be just as easy to process
as the current dual coated
Bioclean Aqua.
“Temperature control within
conservatories is a major issue
with end-users who quite
rightly want to use them as
much as possible throughout
the year. Once again, SaintGobain is responding to
consumer demand.”
The launch of BIOCLEAN
AQUA LSF is backed by
technical support and
marketing support in the form
of revised conservatory glass
sample kits and an updated
conservatory brochure.
