Your interiors are overheating?

Solar control glass effectively reflects or absorbs much of the sun's heat, preventing rooms from overheating. This reduces the need for air conditioning or other cooling systems, leading to lower energy costs, especially in the summer months. This effect is particularly significant in east- or west-façade of building, which are exposed to the most sunlight.

Although the glass blocks some of the sunlight, it still lets enough natural light inside. Thus, the rooms are bright and pleasant, and there is no need to use artificial lighting during the day. Solar control glass therefore helps strike the balance between light and warmth.

One of the key benefits is the ability of the glass to block much of the harmful UV radiation that can cause fading of furniture, carpets, curtains and other interior elements. UV protection prolongs the life cycle of the furnishings and helps keep their original appearance longer. The effect can be additionally strengthened when used in combination with laminated safety glass.

Solar control glazing helps reduce the use of building energy systems and generate savings on air conditioning in summer. This combined with the insulating properties of the glass helps maintain constant temperature indoors, which brings savings on heating costs in winter.

This glass also reduces glare caused by direct sunlight, which increases comfort when you work or relax indoors. This is particularly useful where there are computer screens inside, as well as televisions or other sensitive equipment and where the harsh light can cause some discomfort.

The glass comes in a variety of options – from clear to tinted or reflective – thus it can be used as a design solution that complements the overall appearance of the building. Reflective coatings can also enhance the look of modern buildings, especially in office spaces or residential projects with minimalistic designs.
