Heat reflective surface
The heat absorbing and reflecting properties of SupaGlass SCF 5 and SCF 10 is a direct result of the unique solar control compounds which are in turn added to the Gel-Coat Matrix. The product is specifically designed to reflect the heat away from the building whilst permitting the transmission of quality natural light. In colder climates, heat contained within the building will be retained for longer periods.
Operating Temperature
The operating temperature range of SupaGlass SCF is - 20° C to +95° C.
Warranty
SupaGlass SCF 5 and SupaGlass SCF 10 products are supported by a comprehensive 25 year warranty. Contact FGW Corporation Pty Ltd for full warranty details
