Saint Gobain solar control glass - SKN176 / 165

[Conor]

Anybody have this glass? Trying to get an idea of the tint and how it looks from inside the house. From any photos it seems to have a blue tint?

 

Thanks

Anybody? Or any other similar glazing units with solar control coatings?

I'm interested in this too as currently about to order windows with SKN176 coating and not sure of the look!

Likewise, I am planning on the upstairs of our east and south elevations.  I saw some photos of a person who has double glazed bifolds with SKN176II and the view was very good from inside, when compared to the door being open, i think its low risk to place in bedrooms at the least. Wont be able to report back until 3 months from now when installed.

Does anyone know of any online visual light transmittance simulators / apps that can help me get a feel for the light impact of these windows in 3G, i.e. how to visualise 62% relative to 71% light transmittance?

@tanneja thanks very much, good find. Not as blue as I was fearing.

I have my house modelled in sweethome 3d. It can do renders in sunlight, I'll see if there is an option to alter the transparency of the glazing.
