Solar glass or solar control glass is a specially coated glass that is designed to reduce the amount of heat entering the building. This glass reflects and absorbs the sun’s rays and helps control the glare. Solar glass only allows a small amount of heat to pass when compared to normal glass, i.e. float glass. By upgrading your regular glass to solar glass, you will be able to keep the interior of your property cooler while also allowing ample natural light into your space.
Solar control glass has many applications in the construction industry. Roof, windows, skylights, facades- solar glass can be used in several ways in a building. Whether it’s a commercial building like business centres, shopping malls or residential property, solar glass can be used for either of them. It can also be used for both external and internal purposes.
In a country like India where generally the temperature during the summer months ranges from 35 to 40-degrees Celsius, the electricity bills increase quite a bit due to air-conditioners. By opting for solar glass, you can reduce the amount of heat entering the interiors.Sustainability, energy-efficiency, and reduction of carbon footprint lies at the core of solar glass and hence incorporating it in the construction of buildings is an environment-conscious decision.If privacy is one of your major concerns then the exterior of the solar glass can easily be made reflective to enhance its privacy. This is why reflective solar control glasses are commonly used as glass facades for Corporate offices.
