There are two main types of coated glass: passive coatings, designed to maximize solar heat absorption, and solar control coatings, which reflect solar radiation.
When solar radiation strikes a glass surface, some of it is transmitted, some of it is absorbed and some of it is reflected. The absorbed component increases the temperature of the glass and
Solar control glass is made of specially coated or tinted glass that has specific optical properties that allow it to block a portion of the
In cooler temperatures, significant heat loss can create drafts and leave you feeling chilled, forcing you to always have the heat running. That''s where metrics like the solar heat
Once that''s done then solar gain can become important but be careful not to over glaze because you need to minimize heat loss through the glass. I
By trapping heat indoors and preventing it from escaping through windows, solar glass contributes to improved energy efficiency and lower heating costs year-round.
Once that''s done then solar gain can become important but be careful not to over glaze because you need to minimize heat loss through the glass. I would suggest using vertical glass on the
There are two main types of coated glass: passive coatings, designed to maximize solar heat absorption, and solar control coatings,
Solar control glass is made of specially coated or tinted glass that has specific optical properties that allow it to block a portion of the sun''s radiant heat energy. This glass
Even if the glass is designed to manage solar energy, the window frames themselves (especially black or dark window frames) absorb significant heat — sometimes
Glass material acts as a fine mesh that allows Sun energy to penetrate through it. Some of this light energy get reflected, some absorbed then reradiated and some let through

When compared to regular glass, Clear Solar Glass offers superior heat - insulation properties. Regular glass has a high solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), which means it allows a large
