Solar control glass is designed to reduce solar heat gain in buildings by reflecting and absorbing a significant portion of the sun's infrared and ultraviolet rays while allowing visible light to pass through, making it ideal for energy-efficient curtain walls. What are the benefits of solar control glass? Summer months can be very hot, which means keeping. . COOL-LITE® are Saint-Gobain Glass Solar control glass; Assembled in insulating glazing units (IGU), they help reducing overheating within buildings while letting the daylight in. Offering homogeneous aesthetic for large facade, they help to reduce energy needs, hence operational carbon emissions. . Curtain walling refers to a non-structural cladding system made from fabricated aluminum, commonly used on the outer walls of tall multi-storey buildings. This lightweight material offers ease of installation and can be customized to be glazed, opaque, or equipped with infill panels. Reflective glass minimizes glare and solar heat by reflecting sunlight with a metallic coating, enhancing privacy and aesthetic. . Vidursolar glass-glass PV modules are perfectly suitable for fitting as curtain wall as they meet all the requirements for façades of this kind in conventional construction.
