These materials also offer a wide variety of performance levels for solar control, transparency, light transmittance and light reflectance, amongst others. The phenomenon in which light is
The reflective layer is designed to reflect the maximum amount of solar energy incident upon it, back through the glass substrate. The layer comprises a highly reflective thin metal film,
Solar reflective glass, often referred to as "solar control glass," is a specialized type of glass designed to reflect a significant portion of the sun''s heat and UV rays. It typically
As it responds to changes in lighting conditions, glass for reflectivity can balance transparency and privacy for occupants. Glass for reflectivity not only adds a touch of modern elegance but
Despite the abundance of solar radiation, significant energy losses occur due to scattering, reflection, and thermal dissipation. Glass
Solar reflectivity operates on the principle that different surfaces reflect solar energy to varying degrees. Light-colored surfaces, such as white roofs, have a high reflectivity

The glass works with the whole solar spectrum, which covers ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared radiation, through the Reflection +
Despite the abundance of solar radiation, significant energy losses occur due to scattering, reflection, and thermal dissipation. Glass mitigates these losses by functioning as a

Solar reflectance is the fraction of solar radiation that is reflected from a surface. The solar reflectance is measured on a scale from 0 to 1.

The substrate is the mechanical layer which holds the mirror in shape. Glass may also be used as a protective layer to protect the other layers from abrasion and corrosion. Although glass is brittle, it is a good material for this purpose, because it is highly transparent (low optical losses), resistant to ultraviolet light (UV), fairly hard (abrasion resistant), chemically inert, and fairly easy to clean. It is composed of a float glass with high optical transmis
