The AGP System®
Our insulated, high-performance system, The AGP System®, uses the best components and technology available in New Zealand, featuring:
- Solux-E® or Solux Ultra™

Solux-E®
A virtually invisible low emissivity (Low-E) coating added to The AGP System® improving the level of insulation and solar control in your home.
Solux-E® reduces the amount of heat that passes through the glass while still letting natural light through, improving the thermal efficiency of a home. It offers year-round comfort and a warmer, drier and healthier home.

AGP's newest high performance Low-E glass. The perfect blend of clarity, overheating control and fading protection.
Due to its superior solar control, Solux Ultra™ is the best choice for homeowners wanting to control overheating and is highly recommended for buildings with higher window-to-wall ratio.
