What is solar blue glass?
Part of Vitro Glass’s earth‑inspired collection, Solarblue® glass features a sparkling, light sky‑blue appearance that balances high visible light transmittance (VLT) of 50 percent and a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.49 in a one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU) with clear glass.
What color is Solarban 70XL?
-silver
Consistency. Performance. Solarban® 70 Glass (formerly Solarban® 70XL Glass) is the most commonly specified triple-silver-coated low‑e glass in the industry.
What is blue green glass called?
Azuria® glass is a stunning aqua-blue glass with a distinctive aesthetic that blends brilliantly with surrounding environments.
What is solar ban glass?
Solarban® R100 glass is a neutral-reflective low-e glass with an excellent solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.23 and VLT of 42 percent.
How do you make blue tinted glass?
Small concentrations of cobalt (0.025 to 0.1%) yield blue glass. The best results are achieved when using glass containing potash. Very small amounts can be used for decolorizing. 2 to 3% of copper oxide produces a turquoise color.
What does bronze glass look like?
Bronze glass has a light brown color and is a traditional glass tint color for homes and businesses. The color blocks some solar heat and glare from entering a building. For example, bronze glass blocks about a third of visible light. The bronze color also blocks about 60 percent of ultraviolet light.
What is Solarban 70XL?
Solarban® 70 glass (formerly Solarban® 70XL glass) is a solar control, low-e glass that brilliantly combines the clear appearance of transparent, color-neutral glass with an exceptional combination of solar control and visible light transmittance (VLT).
What is LSG glass?
Light to solar gain (LSG) is the ratio of the visible light transmittance (VLT) and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of a glass. In absolute percentage terms, a ratio greater than 1 signifies that the daylight passing through the glass is more than the sun’s direct heat passing through it.
When did they stop making blue glass?
By 1877, the blue glass craze had truly taken off.
What is cobalt blue glass?
Cobalt glass—known as “smalt” when ground as a pigment—is a deep blue coloured glass prepared by including a cobalt compound, typically cobalt oxide or cobalt carbonate, in a glass melt. Cobalt is a very intense colouring agent and very little is required to show a noticeable amount of colour.
What is the purpose of low-e glass?
Low-E coatings have been developed to minimize the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that can pass through glass without compromising the amount of visible light that is transmitted. When heat or light energy is absorbed by glass, it is either shifted away by moving air or re-radiated by the glass surface.
What is Solexia glass?
Superior Spectrally Selective Performance Offering high light transmittance, Solexia® glass is a soothing, light green tinted glass that is part of the nautically inspired collection by Vitro Glass. Trusted by architects since 1952, Solexia® glass remains an industry standard for spectrally selective performance.
