AGC Glass Europe is expanding its range of solar control glass products to meet the growing demand for enhanced-neutrality solar control glazing.
According to AGC, climate change is leading to more frequent and longer periods of heat and customers increasingly demanding higher levels of light transmission in order to more effectively and efficiently harness natural daylight. AGC has responded by releasing three new Stopray products that focus on delivering high selectivity, a color-neutral appearance and low reflection.
The new solar control coatings
Stopray Ultraselect 60/27 solar control glass features a triple silver coating that delivers good selectivity and a solar factor of 27%, effectively protecting rooms from overheating during the summer and reducing the load on the air-conditioning system. It has a high light transmission of 60% and a low light reflection of 11% (external) and 15% (internal). It also features a low U-value.
Two other additions to the AGC range are Stopray Neutral 60/33(T) and Stopray Neutral 50/27(T), both featuring a double silver coating and good neutrality, making them ideal for architectural applications. Stopray Neutral 60/33(T) delivers light transmission of 60% and a solar factor of 33%, resulting in bright rooms that are protected from overheating.
For more solar control, Stopray Neutral 50/27(T) delivers light transmission of 50% and solar control of 27%. Its low reflection of 13% (external) and 11% (internal) minimizes excessive reflection from artificial lighting.
