Azuria™ Glass by PPG Azuria™ (formerly Azurlite), spectrally selective tinted
glass is like no other architectural glass product available today, from its
aquamarine appearance to its unsurpassed performance. Azuria™
glass provides buildings with a desirable low shading coefficient and high visible
light transmittance, a unique combination unmatched by any other aquamarine
glass product. 
The Shading Coefficient of Azuria™ glass is extraordinarily low, especially for an uncoated tinted product: 0.44 in a one-inch insulating unit. Yet, visible light transmittance is high, especially for a tinted product: 60% for a one-inch I.G. unit. This combination yields a Light to Solar Gain Ratio (LSG) of 1.58 which no other commercially available architectural glass can match. To obtain even more impressive performance while maintaining the desired aesthetic of Azuria™ glass, it can be combined in an insulating unit with an inboard lite of a Sungate® Low-E coated glass or a Solarban® 60 Solar Control Low-E glass (see performance tables in this presentation). Caribia™ glass is the newest member of PPG Industries' spectrally-selective architectural glass family. Aesthetic Description
Caribia glass was developed by PPG in response to an extensive color / tint survey of design architects. The top glass color choice of these designers led PPG to create this highly unique aqua-green spectrally selective glass. Performance Options
Caribia™ and Solarban® 60 Solar Control Low-E Glasses
Atlantica™ Atlantica™ glass (formerly Solargreen), is an emerald-green tinted glass that combines desirable high visible light transmittance with low shading coefficient, providing builders and designers with an attractive solution to meeting new glazing energy conservation design criteria. In one inch insulating units, Atlantica™ glass provides 60% visible light transmittance and a Shading Coefficient of 0.46, resulting in a Light to Solar Gain Ratio (LSG) of 1.54. Its sparkling green color is especially striking against light-colored facades. To obtain even more impressive performance while maintaining the desired aesthetic
of Atlantica™ glass, it can be combined in an insulating unit with
an inboard lite of a Sungate® Low-E coated glass or a Solarban®
Solar Control Low-E glass (see performance tables in this presentation). 
Solexia™ Solexia™ glass (formerly Solex), has long been a favorite of architects desiring spectrally selective high-performance tinted glass. Since 1952, when the Solexia™ -glazed Lever House launched the era of the glass-clad building, Solexia™ has been helping owners and architects achieve beauty and performance in their buildings. Solexia™ glass is a light green tinted glass that has provided aesthetic and performance solutions for builders and architects around the world for decades. The light green color of Solexia™ glass subdues interior brightness while still providing the highest visible light transmittance (69% for a one inch insulating unit) of any tinted glass available. Combined with a Shading Coefficient of 0.56, the resultant Light to Solar Gain Ratio (LSG) is 1.41. To obtain even more impressive performance while maintaining the desired aesthetic of Solexia™ glass, it can be combined in an insulating unit with an inboard lite of a Sungate® Low-E coated glass or a Solarban® Solar Control Low-E glass (see performance tables in this presentation). Note: These products meet the new energy efficiency guidelines set forth by the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) for spectrally selective glazing products.
