STANDARD LOW-E GLASS FOR WINDOWS APPLICATIONS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PLANITHERM® XN (II) is Saint-Gobain reference low emissivity (or low-e) glass for insulating glass units, mainly for windows application, but also for commercial refrigeration.
It is made of a clear glass on which magnetron sputtering under vacuum deposits a thin silver based transparent coating. The coating reflects the far infrared radiation which prevents heat from escaping through your windows to the cold outdoors, bringing more energy efficiency than with old double glazing without low-e coating (before 2000’s).

Refer to ECLAZ® (II) for even more transparency, winter comfort and energy efficiency in residential and non-residential buildings equipped with windows.

BENEFITS & APPLICATIONS

PLANITHERM® XN (II), low-e coated glass, can be used in all insulating glass units, for new buildings or renovation works in residential or non-residential buildings equipped with windows. 

PLANITHERM® XN II is available on demand with EASYPRO®, revolutionary and temporary surface protection developed and proposed exclusively by Saint-Gobain.
Deposited on to-be-tempered coated glass, it delivers effective protection against mechanical damage as well as ageing, during transport and processing, from deposition of the coating until tempering. During tempering, EASYPRO® simply burns off without leaving any residue inside or outside the furnace and without any negative impact on the environment or personal health and safety.

EPD et C2C Logos

PLANITHERM® XN (II) is covered by a verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and is cradle to cradle bronze certified.

PLANITHERM® for glass door of refrigerated cabinet
 

Leveraging its expertise in developing high-performance glass for windows, Saint-Gobain Glass offers best products of the PLANITHERM® range to provide ultimate glazing solutions for vertical commercial refrigeration glass door cabinets. 
 

Everywhere in retail shops and supermarkets, where the internal temperature of refrigeration cabinets significantly contrasts with the ambient temperature of the store, the PLANITHERM® range  (PLANITHERM® ULTRA N II / PLANITHERM® XN II), assembled in Double Glazing Unit or Triple Glazing Unit, excels in maintaining superior insulation, and offering a high transparency. This low-e range effectively reduces the energy consumption of the cabinets, thereby enhancing their overall energy efficiency.
 

This approach benefits businesses by lowering operational costs and contributes to a notable reduction in their carbon footprint, making PLANITHERM® the perfect choice for stakeholders in this sector committed to implementing more sustainable practices.
