SunX™ Grey - Ultimate solar control with grey tone

SunX Grey Low E - double glazing

The specialist solar and thermal control option, with a grey colour tone for privacy

  • Ideal for homes in warmer regions with a great deal of sun

  • Up to 61% better heat retention than standard double glazing

  • Reduces solar heat by up to 69%* compared to standard double glazing, making it perfect for homes where overheating may be an issue

  • The grey tone not only provides privacy, but helps protect you from the sun’s glare, letting in 41% of visual light.

  • The grey colour is consistent even when used across different thickness, unlike other tinted glass which gets darker as the glass gets thicker.

(Note: our double glazing range can be combined with laminate, tinted or obscured glass. Whatever your requirements are, we can tailor a solution for your home.)
