Pilkington energiKare, in conjunction with most UK profile systems, allows window companies to easily achieve a Window Energy Rating (WER) of C or above.
In this way, windows are then eligible to apply for Energy Saving Recommended status from the Energy Saving Trust.
Pilkington energiKareTM comprises 4mm Pilkington K Glass and 4mm Pilkington Optiwhite and must be filled with argon gas, conforming to EN1279 Part 3.
When combined using a standard aluminium spacer bar, rather than a more expensive warm edge spacer, it offers an easy to process, cost effective product that is readily available throughout the UK - both from Pilkington and from Pilkington energiKare Partner Processors.
What's more, with no significant process change for processors, Pilkington energiKareTM IGUs help window fabricators and installers achieve the inspirational band C rating, hassle free.
