Heat-resistant glass or solar control glass is specially designed to block the sun's heat. To block solar heat, previously considerable concessions had to be made in terms of light transmission. With heat-reflective glass from AA Glass this is history: the heat is blocked, but the sunlight enters your home or office.
HR++ glazing already has good thermal insulation. With heat-resistant glass, there is an additional coating on one side in the cavity, which blocks extra heat. The cavity is not filled with air, but with a special insulating gas. This is usually the noble gas argon. The invisible coating on the inner glass allows the light from the sun's rays to pass through, but reflects the heat.
With heat-reflective glass, the LTA and ZTA values are important:
Nowadays, instead of the ZTA value, the international standard g-value is increasingly used. Read more about this in our knowledge base.
In a solar control window with a low LTA value, there is little light penetration through the glass. Daylight gives space and defines the feeling for the human body. So the trick is always to choose a type of glass that repels heat well but still has a high LTA value for sufficient daylight. With heat-resistant glass, we therefore use a combined value: the LTA / ZTA value.
Example: solar 70/40
AA Glass, through its experience, has the most ideal heat-resistant types available. Therefore, ask us for advice.
Heat-resistant glass can be supplied in HR++ double glazing and HR++ triple glazing. In addition, heat-resistant glass can also be supplied as
Do you have many or large windows or a glass facade? Then solar control glass can be a godsend. Solar control glass ensures that it does not become a sauna in your home. In addition, solar control glass is not visible and your view does not have to be blocked by blinds or window coverings, so your home retains the desired modern and sleek look.
