So what exactly is solar control glass? Put simply our solar control glass helps keep conservatories cool in summer and warm in winter thanks to a clever external pane of glass which helps reflect the heat of the sun in the summer, whilst the internal pane helps keep the warmth in when you needed it most. 

The latest developments in glass also mean that we can offer glass in four subtle tints, which helps keep out unwanted glare and the options include subtle blue, aqua, warm bronze (perfect for woodgrained conservatories) and neutral. The technology in these latest glass developments also includes a true self clean coating, so when the sun rays interact with organic dirt it sets of a chemical reaction to break down the dirt and once it begins to rain, the dirt simply washes away, helping keeping your roof glass completely clear.

This new generation glass that we harness in the roof also benefits from Warm Edge Technology, which offers far better insulation properties at the edge of a double glazed unit, the very place where condensation often occurs and this phenomenon is now a thing of the past.

As the technology in the roof glass has moved on, we have also been able to work with our glass partners to offer solar control and even true self cleaning properties in the glass for the windows and doors in your replacement conservatory. The ability to offer the same properties in the glass for the windows and doors as in your replacement conservatory roof is a major technological break through and we expect more and more consumers making this choice. Our advice is simple, look for solar control properties in all your conservatory glass and you’ll enjoy a far more enjoyable climate all year round, as you rediscover your conservatory living space.
