Technical FAQs 4

How do I install solar glass?

Installing solar glass involves several steps to ensure proper functionality and efficiency. The first step is to assess the building’s energy needs and determine the best location for the solar glass panels. This may involve conducting a site survey to evaluate the amount of sunlight available and the optimal angle for installation.

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.

What is solar control glass?

Solar control glass is a type of high-performance glazing that reduces the amount of solar heat entering a building. Filtering infrared radiation and reflecting excessive heat ensures comfortable indoor temperatures while maintaining optimal light transmission. The glass features advanced coatings, often metallic oxides, applied to its surface.

Can solar control glass be used in office buildings?

Office buildings are a popular application for solar control glass. This is because they typically have large windows and are often located in urban areas with high levels of solar radiation. Solar control glass can help to reduce heat gain and glare, while still allowing plenty of natural light into the building.
