Glass Solutions for Comfort and Sustainability Goals
Acoustic, solar/BIPV, bird-safe, and thin triple-pane glass support noise control, renewable energy integration, and LEED/WELL certification targets. These products help buildings meet performance mandates without sacrificing daylighting or design intent.
Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass carries a microscopically thin metallic or metal-oxide coating that reflects infrared heat while allowing visible light to pass through, reducing heat transfer without significantly darkening the glass. Available in single-, double-, and triple-silver configurations for different climate performance targets.
Anti-glare/anti-reflective (AR) glass carries a coating that reduces surface light reflection, improving visibility through the glass and minimizing glare — commonly specified for display, retail, and daylighting applications where reflection interferes with visibility.
Colored (art) laminated glass uses a tinted or pigmented PVB interlayer between glass lites, producing a permanent, richly colored laminated panel that combines the safety properties of standard laminated glass with a decorative color palette.
Digital ceramic printed glass uses UV-stable ceramic ink, digitally printed directly onto the glass surface and fused during tempering, to produce full-color, high-resolution graphics, patterns, or branding that become a permanent part of the glass.
Rain (water ripple) glass features an irregular, flowing textured pattern resembling rain droplets or rippling water, pressed into the glass surface — a popular decorative choice for bathroom and hospitality applications requiring privacy with visual interest.
Reeded (fluted) glass features a series of parallel ribbed or grooved lines pressed into the glass surface during manufacturing, creating a directional textured pattern that diffuses light and view while adding architectural texture.
Acid-etched glass is treated with a hydrofluoric acid process that permanently etches the glass surface, producing a uniform frosted, translucent finish that diffuses light while obscuring visibility through the glass.
Solar and building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) glass incorporates thin-film or crystalline photovoltaic cells into the glass makeup, allowing the glazing itself to generate electricity while serving as the building envelope.
