Solar Reflective Glass - fdaforum - 08-14-2014

Solar Reflective Glass

comprises of a sheet of clear or coloured float glass that has been coated with a thin layer of metal oxide on a single side of the glass. Solar reflective glass has the ability to reflect some and absorb some part of the solar radiation. The range of coatings, colours and thickness offers an extensive choice of levels of solar protection. Due to the coating of metal oxides on the glass, solar reflective glass is widely applied as an aesthetic product in architecture for its highly reflective surface and its wide palette of colours.



An exceptional property of solar reflective glass is that the coating of metal oxides on the glass can be achieved without affecting the transparency of the glass. Solar reflective glass can be used in a number of combinations employing other glass technologies to enhance its performance.
