Contact Supplierwe offer Reflective Glass.
Reflective glass absorbs and reflects a major proportion of the sun’s direct energy more effectively than tinted float glass. The mirror like appearance of reflective glass is achieved through the application of a metallic coating during or after glass manufacture
There are two types of reflective glass available, pyrolytic and vacuum coated:
Pyrolytic: - a coating is applied during glass manufacture. It is basically an economical reflective product. The coating is fused into the glass at 1200 degree C. The advantage of this product is its durability. It can be handled like a standard square of glass. It is ready to be cut, heat strengthened and toughened. This product is sometimes called a ‘hard coat’ reflective. Its coating is more durable than soft coat. The same cleaning procedures as for normal glass can be applied to Pyrolytic. It can be laminated to various required thicknesses as well.
Vacuum coated glass: - involves the deposition of metal particles on the glass surface by a chain reaction in a vacuum vessel. It is often called a ‘soft coat’, because the coating is more susceptible to damage than a hard coat glass when glazed in monolithic form. Vacuum coated reflective glass products are generally better performers in terms of reducing heat gain than pyrolytic or hard coat products. Different coating combinations on clear and tinted glass or with combinations of tinted PVB interlayer in laminated glass, give an array of colour and performance features. These products can also be made up into insulated glass units with Low-E coatings for superior energy efficiency. Veeral Glass has available an extensive range of vacuum coated reflective glass products to suit most applications.
The use of reflective glass represents a popular choice in commercial and domestic glazing today. They provide superior performance to standard glass products in terms of reflecting heat and reducing air conditioning loads.
