Semco Klima 400

When to choose the Semco Klima 400

Choose the Klima 400 when solar control comes first. Of the four Semco Klima types this coating keeps out the most heat, which shows in the low ZTA of 21%. In return, a little less daylight comes in and the blue-purple tint is the most visible of the range. This coating is at its best on the south and south-west, in conservatories and facades with a lot of glass where the sun can really heat things up. If you want to keep more daylight, the Klima 500 and 600 are a logical next step.

Unlaminated or laminated: choose the right composition

The coating sets the solar control, but you decide the build of the pane. This category holds versions with an unlaminated inner pane and versions with a laminated inner pane. An unlaminated pane is lighter and suitable where no safety requirements apply. A laminated inner pane, such as 33.1, 44.2 or 55.2, meets the safety requirements of NEN 3569, dampens sound better and stays whole on breakage because the interlayer holds the fragments. A number of laminated compositions can also serve as light roof glazing up to a limited width; the exact limit is stated with each article. The outer pane is a standard 6 mm with the solar control coating.

Insulation, cavity and finish

Every option has an argon-filled cavity, and you choose its width yourself. That width sets both the insulation value and the room you need in the frame; with a cavity of 15 or 16 mm the Ug-value comes to 1.0 W/m²K. So you insulate well and keep the solar heat out at the same time, because the solar control coating also has the properties of a low-e (HR++) coating. Cavity widths from 6 to 16 mm are standard; 18 and 20 mm are available at a surcharge. You choose the type and colour of the spacer alongside in the configurator.

Configure it to size

You configure every version fully to size: you choose the composition, the cavity width and the spacer, enter your glass dimensions and see the price per m² straight away, including VAT and without a quote in advance.
