jamiehamy Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Hi all, I've just ordered our skylight which is about 2m2. It will be south-facing so I want to reduce the solar gain. For our South facing windows, which are extensive, we opted for Pilkington Activ Blue with a g-value of 0.3 Iirc. The skylight company use a different glass supplier who have a really interesting tool. I know solar glazing had been discussed before but I don't think this has been shared? It could help those planning a combination of shading and solar glazing to reduce risk of over heating. You can set different parameters to get the right light and energy levels to suit the location and purpose. http://www.yourglass.com/configurator/gb/en/toolbox/configurator/main.html Edited March 16, 2017 by jamiehamy spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone West Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 We've got a Fakro TG roof window with glazing g value of 0.32. Works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelank Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hi @jamiehamy, very useful. I'm looking at a glazed S facing gable end & overheating will be an issue so really useful to have this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
