Glass Glazing
Solar-control glazing
Selective coatings that balance useful daylight with incoming solar energy.
- Control of incoming solar energy
- Daylight and appearance balance
- Useful for large or sun-exposed glazing
Product details
Daylight, with solar gain considered.
View full size Solar-control glass is useful to discuss for large or sun-exposed openings where incoming heat and glare affect comfort. Selective coatings can retain daylight while reducing the proportion of solar energy entering the space.
Orientation, shade, ventilation and the size of the glazing all influence the room. Light transmission, solar factor and glass appearance should be compared as a whole rather than choosing on one number.
