Low-E Glass Products

PPG pioneered the development of low-e glass more than 20 years ago when it debuted its Sungate 100 glass, which holds the distinction of being the world’s first commercially available low-e glass. Today, PPG is one of the few glass makers in the world that produces both on-line, pyrolytic, low-e coated glass, Sungate 500; off-line MSVD single-silver, low-e coated glass, Sungate 100; and off-line MSVD, double-silver low-e coated glass, Solarban 60 and Solarban z50.

Aesthetics Are Important

While today’s structures must stand the test of time and meet more environmental requirements than ever before, aesthetics are still critical to every design project. With the Oceans of Color, Starphire, Vistacool and Solarcool product lines offered through PPG IdeaScapes China, you don’t have to sacrifice either energy efficiency or beauty.

Oceans of Color

All Oceans of Color glasses meet energy efficiency guidelines for spectrally selective glass products and come in stunning ocean-inspired tints, including aqua-blue Azuria^® glass, aqua-green Caribia^® glass, emerald green Atlantica^® glass and light green Solexia^® glass. For improved solar performance, each tint can be combined with PPG low-e coated glasses.

Starphire Ultra-Clear Glass

With its unique blue edge and superior clarity, no commercially available glazing product comes close to the pristine personality of Starphire glass by PPG. With its uncommon brightness and maximum light transmission, Starphire offers architects and designers an unprecedented option for vision glass applications. When enhanced energy performance is required, combine the clarity of Starphire glass with Solar Control Solarban 60 low-e glass to satisfy green building requirements. Starphire glass is available in thicknesses from 2.5mm to 19mm to clearly fit every design’s need. Learn more about Starphire Ultra-Clear Glass.

Vistacool and Solarcool Reflective Glasses

The Vistacool family of reflective coatings is subtly reflective and color-enriched, yet it maintains high levels of visible light transmittance. Solarcool reflective coated glass increases reflectivity and effectively reduces solar heat. Learn more about Vistacool and Solarcool Reflective Glasses .
