E-CLEAR A – Thermal Insulating Glass

Designed to complement the existing range of thermal insulating glass coatings from Saint-Gobain Glass, E-CLEAR A is an entry-level glass product.

E-CLEAR A is a durable “single-stock” product for annealed or toughened use that does not require edge-deletion when used with approved sealants. However, an approved secondary seal must be used up to the edge of the glass in all applications. The transparent metallic coating combines good levels of thermal performance with pleasing aesthetics.

This product meets the requirements of the class C products defined in the European standards EN 1096-1 and EN 1096-3. It can only be used in thermal insulating glass units for building applications, with the coating on face 3, or alternatively on face 2, but never on face 1 or 4. It cannot be used in single glazing, opacified single glazing or laminated without edge deletion for curtain wall applications.

E-CLEAR A Advantages

EASY TO PROCESS
Thanks to advanced coating technology, E-CLEAR A provides glass processors with an easier to process, more durable low-E glass solution that does not require edge-deletion when used with approved sealants. It is also a single stock product for both annealed and tempered applications.

ENERGY EFFICIENT
E-CLEAR A has been designed to optimise thermal performance with solar gain, enabling it to achieve a minimum ‘B’ Window Energy Rating with PLANICLEAR standard clear float counter-pane and warm-edge spacer (depending on the complete window system).

AESTHETICS
With a slightly neutral/blue appearance, E-CLEAR A is aesthetically pleasing for window applications and offers installers and fabricators a solution for Window Energy Ratings without the haze side-effects of traditional pyrolitic (hard) coatings.

DAYLIGHT COMFORT
E-CLEAR A can lower the need for artificial lighting thanks to its very high transparency and optical clarity.

WINTER COMFORT
Thanks to a low centre-pane U-value of 1.3 W/m2.K*, E-CLEAR A reduces heat loss through windows, making homes more comfortable and reducing cold spots around areas of glazing.
