About Planitherm Glass

Planitherm glass works by using a special coating to reduce heat loss from the home while allowing natural sunlight to pass through. This low-emissivity (low-E) coating helps to improve insulation, keeping your home warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. It’s a key component of modern double glazing or triple glazing windows, which are increasingly popular in the UK for their environmental and energy-saving benefits.

Features of Planitherm Glass

  1. Energy Efficiency: Planitherm glass helps reduce energy bills by lowering the need for artificial heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. It achieves this by reducing heat transfer through the glass while still letting natural light into your home.
  2. Comfort: With better insulation, you’ll notice fewer cold draughts and more consistent indoor temperatures. Planitherm helps maintain a comfortable living environment, no matter the weather outside.
  3. Enhanced Clarity: Unlike some energy-efficient glazing, Planitherm glass offers high clarity and brightness, ensuring you get the full benefit of natural light without compromising on thermal performance.
  4. Noise Reduction: When used in double or triple glazing units, Planitherm glass can help reduce outside noise, providing a more peaceful and quiet environment inside your home.
  5. UV Protection: Planitherm glass helps block harmful UV rays from entering your home, which protects your family and reduces fading on furniture, carpets, and curtains.

Advantages of Planitherm Glass

  • Lower Energy Bills: Thanks to its impressive insulation properties, Planitherm glass can significantly reduce your home’s heating and cooling costs.
  • Eco-Friendly: By helping reduce your energy consumption, Planitherm glass also lowers your carbon footprint, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
  • Comfort All Year Round: The unique coating technology of Planitherm ensures your home remains at a comfortable temperature whatever the season.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: With its high transparency and light transmission, Planitherm windows are not only functional but visually appealing, making your home brighter and more inviting.
