The AGP System® with Solux Ultra® Low-E Double Glazing
Complete your window system with APL frames, New Zealand's leading window and door solution Explore
Description

The AGP System® with Solux Ultra® is a factory-assembled double-glazed unit that combines a warm-edge ATS-Architectural Thermal Spacer®, argon gas, and Solux Ultra® Low-E to create an airtight, durable insulating glass unit (IGU).

The perfect blend of clarity, overheating control and fading protection. Due to it's superior solar control, The AGP System® with Solux Ultra® is the best choice for specifiers wanting to control overheating and is highly recommended for buildings with a higher window-to-wall ratio (WWR).

The brilliantly neutral colour and reduced reflectivity of The AGP System® with Solux Ultra® sets it apart from other Low-E glass and ensures you enjoy natural light and unblemished views, all while delivering improved temperature and fading control.

For best overall window or door performance, pair The AGP System® with Solux Ultra® with thermally efficient frames such as APL's ThermalHeart+® available through the Vantage, Altherm & First manufacturer network.

Key Features
  • Reduces heat transfer, blocks excessive heat in summer, retains heat in winter, and helps control fading
  • Spacer separation reduces the likelihood of interior condensation
  • Seal integrity supports gas retention
  • The AGP System® is backed by an extended 12 year warranty, two years longer than industry standard or legislative requirements
  • Uniform, matt-black spacer with a single join for a clean edge appearance
  • Optimises the overall performance of APL frames, such as ThermalHeart+® or Klima® uPVC.
