Olympic Glass Launch SUNtec

Olympic Glass take the next step forward in the energy efficient evolution with the introduction of SUNtec.

Using the very latest in high performance insulated glass technology, SUNtec offers increased light transmission, improved solar gain and a brighter appearance.

SUNtec exceeds current and future government regulations, providing the optimum thermal insulation option.

Managing Director Gary Jenkins said, "whilst developing this market leading product we wanted to build in cost efficiency , making it easier for our customers to upgrade their products to A-rating. You will be surprised at just how inexpensive this product is".

By combining an Outer Pane of Low Iron Glass with an Inner Pane of Coated Low Iron Glass, Argon gas fill and sealed with Warm Edge Technology, SUNtec can achieve a Window Energy Rating of A in the greatest available range of profiles. 

SUNtec's energy efficient glazing can do a lot for your business, and just as much for the environment. By cutting the amount of energy required to keep homes warm, it helps to reduce fuel bills and carbon footprints alike.

This gives you the chance to do business with the rapidly expanding group of consumers who would like to have energy-efficient glazing installed.

You will be surprised at just how inexpensive this product is.
