What is Solar Control Glass?
Solar control glass is a type of glass designed to reduce the amount of heat that enters a building, thus enhancing thermal insulation and comfort and reducing the need for artificial cooling.
Solar glass is created through various coatings and treatments applied to the glass surface, which can reflect or absorb some of the solar radiation.
Solar control glass represents a significant advancement in architectural and commercial glazing, offering a range of benefits that contribute to energy efficiency, comfort, and aesthetic appeal.
As the world continues to battle climate change and the rising cost of energy, innovative solutions like solar control glass are becoming increasingly popular options for business owners.

Types of Solar Control Glazing
Not sure which solar control glass is best for your business? We can help you choose the right solution for your building. Our range includes:
Reflective Solar Control Glass
This type of glass has a reflective coating that reduces a significant portion of the solar radiation. It is often used in commercial buildings where a large external glass panel would be common.Absorptive Solar Control Glass
This glass absorbs solar energy, which is then dissipated as heat. Absorptive glass is typically tinted and can be used in both residential and commercial applications.Low E Glass
Low E glass has thin solar control coatings that reflect infrared energy while allowing visible light to pass through. This type of glass is highly effective in reducing solar gain without compromising on natural light.Dual-Function Glass
This combines solar control performance with other functionalities, such as thermal insulation or sound reduction.

Benefits of Solar Control Glass
Solar control glass offers numerous benefits that make it the ideal option for your commercial building, as the metal oxide coating reduces short wave radiation and improves thermal performance. Other benefits include:
UV Protection
Solar control glass can help to block harmful UV rays, which can cause furniture and carpets to fade over time. This UV protection also helps reduce the risk of skin damage for those working in the building.Aesthetic Appeal
Solar control glass is available in a variety of colours, tints, and finishes, allowing you to achieve the desired look for your building while still enjoying the year round functional benefits.
This range of aesthetic options make it a popular choice for structural glass in modern buildings.
Environmental Impact
By reducing the need for artificial cooling and heating, solar control glass will help you to lower your carbon footprint by keeping your room cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Additionally, we design our solar control glass products with sustainability in mind, minimising environmental impact of our materials and manufacturing.

Energy Efficiency
One of the most significant advantages of solar control glass is its ability to reduce energy consumption. By minimising the amount of solar heat entering a building, solar control glass reduces the need for air conditioning.
Therefore, switching to a solar control glass unit not only contributes to your energy saving but also reduces your carbon footprint.
Enhanced Comfort
Solar glazing is an insulated glass unit, and therefore helps to maintain a more consistent indoor temperature by reducing heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter.
This results in a more comfortable working environment for you and your employees.
Glare Reduction
By controlling the amount of sunlight that enters a building, solar control glass can significantly reduce glare, making indoor spaces more pleasant and reducing eye strain.Curved shop front window replacement
