Benefits and advantages
Nowadays technology makes it possible to offer a full range of solar control glazing that not only provides comfort in the hot season, but also manages properly to keep the heat from escaping in winter.
Solar control glass is divided into three main groups based on efficiency: tinted glass, reflective glass and multi-functional solar control glass.
Solar Control Glass – COOL-LITE®
Solar control coatings reduce overheating within buildings while letting the daylight in. Offering homogeneous aesthetic for large facade, they help to reduce energy needs, hence operational carbon emissions.
Benefits
The easiest way to protect yourself from the heat of the sun is with tinted glass. The thicker the glass – the more intense the tint, the lower the transmission of visible light and solar energy.
On a hot summer day, tinted glass heats up and radiates heat into the room. The heating requires additional treatment, toughened, to prevent thermal breakage.
Shades: brown, grey.
Application
Tinted glass is mostly used for:
-
- In buildings where the window area is a large part of the building
-
- Windows and facades for public, commercial and industrial buildings
