	Buyers Guide - Pilkington K and Low E Glass
		Pilkington K glass is definitely available in laminated form and it would be more than suitable for a conservatory.
		On investigating the possible use of K glass in a conservatory I have discovered that because of the enhanced insulation qualities of the double glazing, condensation may occur (on cold, damp, misty, foggy mornings) on the OUTSIDE of the glass.
		Pilkington mention this in their literature and claim (quite rightly in my opinion) that the effect is negligible.

	Pilkington K Glass Double Glazed Windows
		During a recent installation, I noticed that a patterned glass section sealed unit did not have K glass fitted (although it was specified at the time of order).
		After further discussions, their suggestion is that the K coating will be applied to the inside face of the outside pane of (flat) glass, leaving the patterned glass as the inside pane (with the pattern on the inside of the sealed unit.
		However as its also normal for the pattern glass part of a sealed unit to be on the inside it will not be possible to have K glass fitted to the inside when patterned glass is specified.

		When glazed with the reflective coating on the #2 surface to enhance the color of the underlying glass and reduce reflectance, some solar radiation is absorbed in the glass both before and after reflection from the coating.
		Other tinted reflective glasses, however, often must be heat-strengthened or tempered when glazed on the #2 surface, to prevent breakage caused by their excess solar heat absorption.
		Glass should be stored in dry conditions and out of direct sunlight, stacked upright and fully supported in a manner which prevents the glass from sagging.
