Review: This new glass from Velux (circa 2012) provides a much higher heat blockage value. It has the same laminated glass virtues that the comfort glass has for breakage, noise and UV protection.
We recommend this to our clients that have a particular concern with stopping any heat from coming into the house, or when we have a large area of skylights facing south.
We have found that we have had to wait 5 to 8 weeks for delivery of this glass on some Velux skylights.
