Saint-Gobain Goes Darker with PARSOL ULTRA GREY

PARSOL ULTRA GREY brings a new depth to the design potential of tinted glass, offering the most intense grey tint on the market but with all the same creative processing options of a high quality clear float glass.Also, being a true body-tint means it can give anything from light grey to a virtually opaque appearance reminiscent of black onyx, simply by varying the thickness. This unrivalled density of grey adds even more versatility to the designer’s use of sheet glass for anything from shower screens, interior dividers and all kinds of furniture to a number of exterior architectural applications, said Saint-Gobain Glass Interiors Market Manager Jenni Bailey:

“A tinted variant of SGG Planiclear, it can be curved, tempered, sand blasted, screen printed or processed in all the same ways as a conventional clear glass. This gives the designer a whole array of creative options along with the assurance of a tried and trusted material.”

PARSOL ULTRA GREY offers a light reflectance of 4% and a transmittance ranging from 10% at 4mm thick down to less than 0.5% at 10mm. The level of privacy can also be controlled by varying the level of light in front of and behind the glass.

Jenni Bailey concluded: “The PARSOL range is acclaimed all over Europe for its high specification and excellent aesthetics. Now, the addition of PARSOL ULTRA GREY means it will be more versatile and more in demand than ever. It shows once again that Saint-Gobain Glass is constantly expanding and evolving its range to keep its customers ahead of the field.”

PARSOL ULTRA GREY is the latest addition to Saint-Gobain’s growing interior range including SGG MIRALITE REVOLUTION, an environmentally friendly mirror, SGG DECORGLASS, a unique range of patterned glass and SGG SATINOVO MATT a matt-finished translucent glass all designed to perfectly enhance interior spaces.
