At the heart of the Celsius range lies tried and tested technology, specially developed by one of the largest glass manufacturers in the world, with over 35 years experience in glass production. More consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of glass roofing compared with polycarbonate. Aside from aesthetics, Glass tends to have a much longer life span compared to other roofing products and coupled with the ease of maintenance; it is now a preferred option by many discerning consumers.

The Celsius range was one of the first glazing options on the market to offer the unique combination of heat reflection AND thermal insulation, but Celsius has even more benefits.

Rainfall and traffic noise are reduced by over 100% when compared to 25mm polycarbonate. The argon gas filled units reduce the noise even further as well as offering greater insulation properties.

Destructive UV rays are reduced by up to 88%, thus offering protection for furniture and fabrics from sun damage. Celsius Clear with its neutral appearance for side frames and certain roof installations offers the complete performance solution.


Technical Data

The table to the right gives you a clearer idea of the impressive performance of Celsius, Celsius Clear and Celsius Plus when compared to standard glass or polycarbonate.

Visible Light Transmittance

This is the percentage of visible light directly transmitted through the glass.

Solar Factor

This is the percentage of total solar energy (or heat from the sun) able to pass through the glass.

U-Value

This is used to measure internal heat loss during cooler periods; the lower the number, the greater the insulation.

UV Transmission

Sun damaging UV rays are dramatically reduced, allowing greater protection of your furniture and fabrics.
