Glass room with solar insulation

Can solar control glass be combined with thermal insulating glass?

Solar control glass can be combined in an IGU with thermal insulating glass to further improve the thermal insulation performance and help keep temperatures comfortable for the building’s occupants all year round. It can also be combined with laminated glass to provide safety and security features, as well as sound reduction.

How can solar control glass help reduce energy costs?

Used in double or triple glazing, they help reduce energy costs associated with indoor heating systems. The energy efficiency of buildings can be improved as solar control glass helps limit the overheating of interiors through the glazing, therefore helping to reduce demands on air conditioning.

How does solar control glass work?

The indoor space remains bright but cooler compared to uncoated glass. In terms of thermal insulation performance, most of our solar control glass products - those with at least one silver coating, help reflect indoor heat back into the room and form a shield against the cold exterior.

Why is insulating glass important?

In terms of its thermal insulation performance, insulating glass helps reflect indoor heat back into the room and form a shield against the cold exterior. It also helps minimize unpleasant cold drafts people can feel close to the glazing area due to a high temperature difference between the ambient air and the glass surface.
