Pilkington Suncool™ Dynamic is the clever responsive yet simple solution to help prevent excessive heat build-up from the sun. Pilkington Suncool™ Dynamic is a thermochromic laminated safety glass, which adapts to the changing incoming solar heat radiation conditions that change throughout the day and seasons. The glass lightens and darkens by itself (with no mechanical or electrical intervention) based on the amount of heat from the direct sunlight. The more direct and intense the sunlight on the glass the darker it will become. In comparison with electronically controlled glass technologies, you do not have to worry about specifying different levels of glass tint. Pilkington Suncool™ Dynamic adjusts the level of solar control depending on the orientation of the building. Despite the automatic tinting, this technologically advanced glass enables you to enjoy a clear view to the outside environment throughout the day. Pilkington Suncool™ Dynamic reacts to the heat from direct sunlight, providing more shading as the temperature increases, therefore acting as a dynamic solar control solution with the added benefit of being completely off-the-grid. Since there are no wires or electrical devices the system is durable and maintenance-free. Pilkington Suncool™ Dynamic can help manage a building’s changing needs for solar control and natural daylight, help to save energy and contribute to sustainable environment.
