As summer is underway and we are already experiencing warmer temperatures, glazing can help reduce heat build-up in sunny rooms.

Modern solar control glass differs from traditional anti-sun tinted glass types by keeping a neutral, transparent appearance. Special coatings applied to the glass surface within a glazing unit reflect away direct radiated heat from the sun. These high-performance coatings can block up to 65% of this heat, while standard double glazing typically reflects only 29%.

Solar control glass is perfect for southerly aspects and roof glazing, where direct sunlight can make rooms uncomfortable and lead to excessive heat buildup in the home. Coupled with laminate glass, furniture fades can be reduced, making these glazing units multi-purpose.

These modern glass types are also thermally efficient and offer leading energy-saving properties.

They keep the home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
