Our superior tinted glasses provide significant improvements in solar performance compared to normal tinted glass. The colors are deeper, however natural views from the interior are maintained with low exterior reflectance. They are readily available and can be processed and fabricated similarly to normal float glass to provide an economical choice for reducing air-conditioning loads and costs.
Arctic Blue™ High performance tint is a unique blue tinted float engineered for high daylight transmittance, good solar control and cool, comfortable color. It also provides a soft, undistorted, natural view from the interior.
The high performance tinted glass range absorbs a large proportion of solar radiation. Applications must be checked for thermal stress breakage.
Benefits
* High solar control float glass - without coatings optimizes light transmittance and reduces cooling loads.
* Low external and internal reflectance.
* Provides good daylight transmittance with low reflectivity.
* Low UV transmittance - outperforms other tinted products for reduced fading.
