How can glass contribute to performance and energy efficiency?
Solar control glass: When you need plenty of natural daylight but want to reflect a high proportion of the sun’s heat away from the glass – the answer is solar control glass. It helps reduce the ‘greenhouse effect’ that occurs in summer as rooms heat up to the point that they become unpleasant to be in. With solar control glass, indoor spaces can become brighter and cooler, while uncomfortable glare from the sun can be filtered out. Depending on the climate, it can be more ex
