What's Reflective Glass? What benefits can reflective glass bring us?

Glass is a beautiful medium for use in building design and construction. It creates openness and optimal lighting, yet still offers protection from the elements, including radiant heat from the sun. There are different types of glass, and one type glass can achieve privacy function for your houses or properties.

What's the reflective glass? 

Reflective glass is clear or tinted glass that has a very thin layer of metal or metallic oxide on the surface. The reflective coating is applied during the float process. The thicker the glass is, the less light will pass through the window. The reflective coating reduces heat gain and glare from the outside while allowing visible light to enter. Characteristics of reflective glass include:

• Appearance: Reflective glass gives a building a mirror-like appearance. The coatings are available in silver, copper, gold and earth tone. They can be combined with tinted glass to give a building a beautiful exterior.
• Visibility: Reflective glass permits you to see through the glass on one side, but not the other
• Energy savings: Because it reflects and absorbs the sun's rays, reflective glass reduces the amount of solar radiation that enters the building. This can save money in heating and air-conditioning costs.
• Comfort: Reflective glass reduces variations in the interior temperature of a building.
  

Reflective glass, in particular, offers outstanding aesthetic and performance benefits. In fact, reflective glass is often a better option than transparent or tinted glass. Today’s reflective glass offers a variety of reflectivity options, as well as energy cost-saving low-e coatings.

REFLECTIVE GLASS COLOR FLEXIBILITY BENEFITS

Tinted reflective glass allows for optimal light filtration and color neutrality, so it can be coordinated with your building’s framing, including spandrels, metal panels and even stonework. And it’s available with low-e coating, too, which can help your building earn LEED and Energy Star credits.

REFLECTIVE GLASS PRIVACY BENEFITS

The special metallic coating applied to reflective glass allows lets your visitors take advantage of spectacular views, but prevents those outside the building from seeing in.

REFLECTIVE GLASS GLARE CONTROL BENEFITS

Reflective glass lets optimal light into your space, but also reduces glare from the sun, which eliminates the need for blinds and other window coverings. And when combined with solar-controlling low-e coating, this glass can reflect incoming radiant heat energy to keep your HVAC costs low.

REFLECTIVE GLASS APPEARANCE BENEFITS

There’s nothing more impactful in a skyline than a beautiful glass building. The appearance of the reflective glass on your building’s exterior will change as the sky changes, highlighting spectacular sunrises and fiery sunsets.
