Solar reflective glass

How does glass manage solar heat radiation?

Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorptance. These are defined as follows: Reflectance – the proportion of solar radiation reflected back into the atmosphere. Direct transmittance – the proportion of solar radiation transmitted directly through the glass.

What is T-sunlux reflective glass?

T-Sunlux, is a specially designed magnetron coated glass, that provides the perfect combination of elegant aesthetics and high solar control. This high-performance solar control reflective glass specializes in blocking heat and is a great fit for architectural glass applications, where it helps to maintain the thermal comfort of the building.

What are solarcool® glasses?

Combined in a one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU) with clear glass, Solarcool® glasses offer an expansive palette of appearance and performance options with solar heat gain coefficients (SHGCs) ranging from 0.34 to 0.14 and exterior reflectance of up to 37 percent.

What is solar glass & how does it work?

Solar glass, or solar control glass is standard glass that has a specialist metallic coating applied to reflect away infrared radiation whilst allowing UV light through the glass. This results in a glass that can allow the maximum amount of light in balance with reducing the heat from the sun.
