Solar control

How solar control technology works

Our solar control glass has a special coating that reduces excess heat from building up inside your home during the hot summer months.

Solar control glass is important for:

• Enhanced comfort: Solar control glass is designed to reduce the amount of solar heat coming through your windows, helping you maintain a cooler indoor environment and reducing the need for air conditioning units - lowering your power bills. The technology in the glass also works in reverse for the cold winter months by retaining some of the heat generated inside your home from escaping through your windows. This is an ideal glass choice for all seasons, leaving you with a more consistent temperature year-round.

• Glare reduction: Solar control glass helps to minimise glare from the sun, creating a more comfortable and visually pleasant indoor environment, which is particularly beneficial for homes with large windows.

• Reduce fading: Solar control glass can reduce light, heat and UV rays coming in, which helps protect furnishings, flooring, and other materials from fading over time due to sun exposure.

If you check two or more of the factors below, solar control glass could be right for you:

☐  There is high window to wall ratio
☐  A stylish aesthetic is required
☐  Located in a high sunshine region
☐  Windows are north or west facing
☐  Glare may be an issue and limited shade is available
☐  Rising energy costs are a consideration
☐  Ventilation is not optimal
☐  Interior overheating is a risk
