Vacuum insulating glass

VacuMax vacuum insulating glass by Vitro Architectural Glass integrates with any traditional, and even non-traditional, glazing system to maximize insulation performance. The product delivers an R-value of R14, close to that of a traditional wall. VacuMax VIG units consist of two lites of 4-millimeter glass separated by a non-leaded proprietary metal seal and a vacuum space. The unit’s slim construction and light weight allow it to be incorporated into virtually any traditional glazing system, window frame or curtain wall application.

Coated glass

Guardian SunGuard SNR 35 coated glass provides a low solar heat gain, a neutral silver appearance and stunning neutral reflectivity. SNR 35 delivers a crisp, reflective look and features a lower solar heat gain coefficient of 0.17 for energy saving performance. By combining the classical, neutral aesthetic both at normal and angular incidence with superior energy performance, SNR 35 presents an attractive exterior architects seek while helping to provide bright, comfortable interiors, say officials.
