SunGuard SNX 70+ Coated Glass

SunGuard SNX 70+ Coated Glass was developed by Guardian Glass to help meet today’s requirements for improved energy performance, while still achieving an aesthetic that is transparent and neutral. This triple-silver, low-emissivity coating is designed to help deliver a consistent neutral reflected color whether the glass is viewed directly or at an angle, says Suresh Devisetti, director of product management. 

The SunGuard SNX 70+ has a visible light transmission of 68% and a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.28 on Guardian UltraClear low-iron glass. The resulting 2.45 light-to-solar gain ratio is the highest in Guardian’s North American SunGuard portfolio. Paired with a 0.28 U-value, this glass can help buildings achieve their energy performance goals, says Devisetti.

With a color rendering index of 95, this product transmits true-to-life light and color so that views become vivid, and interiors and exteriors are connected. SunGuard SNX 70+ Coated Glass meets architects’ requests for a more uniform appearance to the exterior façade while still delivering high solar and thermal performance to meet today’s stringent energy requirements, say officials.
