![]() Rapid cooling increases the compression forces on the surface and the tension forces inside the glass. The annealed glass is then cooled rapidly by blowing air uniformly onto both surfaces at the same time. Tempered glass, (also known as toughened glass) is made by heating annealed glass uniformly. This can save money in heating and air-conditioning costs.Ĭomfort: Reflective glass reduces variations in the interior temperature of a building. Visibility: Reflective glass permits you to see through the glass on one side, but not the other.Įnergy savings: Because it reflects and absorbs the sun's rays, reflective glass reduces the amount of solar radiation that enters the building. They can be combined with tinted glass to give a building a beautiful exterior. The coatings are available in silver, copper, gold, and earth tone. Characteristics of reflective glass include:Īppearance: Reflective glass gives a building a mirror-like appearance. The reflective coating reduces heat gain and glare from the outside while allowing visible light to enter. ![]() ![]() The thicker the glass is, the less light will pass through the window. The reflective coating is applied during the float process. Reflective glass is clear or tinted glass that has a very thin layer of metal or metallic oxide on the surface. ![]()
