Solar Control Low-E

More efficiency and environmental protection

Solar radiation consists of roughly half visible light and infra-red radiation. The infra-red element of solar radiation, in particular, is responsible for heating rooms behind glazed areas. It is therefore particularly good in terms of energy use if the coating can “distinguish” between visible light and infrared radiation by passing a high proportion of the visible light through the glass, while the infrared radiation is largely reflected. In this way pressure on the climate in the room or the air conditioning system is relieved, and also daylight is used in the best possible way, which also saves energy used for lighting.
