CONTROL GLASS

At Vitroterm-Murów, we design solutions that not only meet the technical requirements of modern construction but, above all, address the real needs of users. One of the key elements that enhance indoor comfort and improve the energy efficiency of buildings is solar control glass, designed to reduce excessive heat gain caused by solar radiation.

SPECIFICATION

Technical Parameters and Functionality

The key performance indicator for solar control glass is the g-value (solar factor)—a parameter that determines how much of the total solar energy enters the interior. The lower the g-value, the more effective the protection against overheating. At Vitroterm-Murów, we use solar control glass with highly optimized parameters—compliant with EN 410 — ensuring full alignment with project requirements.

Importantly, our solar control glass maintains a high level of visible light transmission, providing bright and comfortable interiors without the effect of darkening.

WHY IT MATTERS

Reduced Overheating – Greater Comfort, Lower Costs

Modern buildings—especially office complexes, public facilities, shopping centers, and contemporary homes with extensive glazing—require effective protection against interior overheating. The use of solar control glass significantly limits the amount of solar energy entering the building, resulting in:
reduced energy consumption for air conditioning
improved thermal comfort for occupants
more stable indoor conditions during the summer months
Selective solar control glass differs from traditional reflective glass in that it maintains higher transparency and interior brightness. This type of glazing ensures excellent daylight access without causing excessive darkening of the space.

Types of Solar Control Glass

SELECTIVE GLASS

Flat, transparent float glass, available in clear or body-tinted versions (blue, brown, grey, or green). It is multilayer-coated with metal oxides to achieve the desired level of reflectivity, control solar gain, limit the penetration of solar energy into interiors, and ensure high thermal insulation. This type of glass must always be used as part of an insulating glass unit.

ABSORPTIVE GLASS

Flat, transparent float glass, body-tinted in blue, brown, grey, or green. It is used to reduce the amount of solar energy entering the building. This glass can be used either as single glazing or within an insulating glass unit.

REFLECTIVE GLASS

Flat, transparent float glass, available in clear or body-tinted variants (blue, brown, grey, or green). It is coated with a thin metal oxide layer to achieve reflective properties, control sunlight, and reduce the transmission of solar energy into interior spaces. Depending on the type of coating, this glass may be used as single glazing or as part of an insulating glass unit.

EFFECTIVE THERMAL INSULATION

Year-Round Energy Efficiency

It is worth emphasizing that modern solar control glass provides benefits not only in summer. Insulating glass units equipped with the appropriate coatings can also offer excellent thermal insulation during winter, reducing energy loss and improving the building’s overall energy performance throughout the entire year.

Solar control glazing is a modern solution that enhances comfort in homes, offices, and public buildings by making glazed surfaces more pleasant and efficient to use.
