SOLARVUE

laminated coated safety glass

SolarVue  provides medium solar control and a neutral, low-reflective appearance in a range of colours.

A thin deposit of nickel and chromium eliminates more than 55% of solar heat, while transmitting more than 45% of visible light. SolarVue also eliminates more than 99% of damaging UV radiation.

 

Suggested applications

  • Medium solar energy control
  • Glare reduction in buildings
  • Glazed partitions and screens

Standards and options

SolarVue is a PVB laminated safety glass marked to SABS 1263-1. SolarVue can be custom-manufactured to meet various safety, security and noise reduction standards.

 

Coating densities

  • High Light (HL)
  • Extra High Light (XHL)
  • Super High Light (SHL)
  • Mega High Light (MHL)

Strength ratings

  • Normal Strength (NS)
  • High Penetration Resistant (HPR)
  • High Impact (HI)

Edge working

The edges of all heat absorbing glass should be polished to reduce the possibility of thermal breakage. The edges must be free of vented damage. These edges may be produced by a straight line polishing machine. Contact SmartGlass for a detailed thermal stress warranty.

Environmental influences

The visual appearance of coated glasses is determined not only by the colour of the glass and the coating. It is also influenced by environmental factors such as solar angle, ambient light level and quality, reflections in the glass, and the viewing angle. The nature of coated glass makes it imperative to assess the true colour and reflectance of the proposed product in the context of an existing building, failing which in a full-scale mock-up, before a final selection is made. SmartGlass architectural solutions specialists are available to assist with project management and technical advice.

Coating: glazing guide

SolarVue is a sided product, meaning that its appearance will vary when viewed from different sides. Care must be exercised when cutting and glazing to ensure a uniform appearance. Stock sheets are labelled by the factory to indicate the coated side.

SolarVue neutral is best installed with the coating towards the sun. Tinted SolarVue products are normally glazed with the tinted side facing the sun. If optimum light and solar control are required, the coated side should be placed outside.
