Solarcool® Reflective Glasses

An expansive palette of durable, reflective coated glasses offering a range of aesthetic options.

The Solarcool® family of reflective coated glass was introduced in 1972, and for more than 40 years, has enhanced the appearance of thousands of buildings and the comfort of millions of their inhabitants.

Solarcool® glasses can be glazed with the reflective coating positioned on either the first or second surface. The glass has improved performance and higher exterior visible-reflectivity with a metallic sheen when installed with the coating on the first surface. Combined in a one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU) with clear glass, Solarcool® glasses offer an expansive palette of appearance and performance options with solar heat gain coefficients (SHGCs) ranging from 0.34 to 0.14 and exterior reflectance of up to 37 percent.

When installed with the coating on the second surface, the glass has lower exterior visible reflectivity and maintains the substrate glass color. Combine Solarcool® glasses with Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) tinted glasses, such as Solargray®, Solarbronze®, Solarblue®, Azuria® or Pacifica®, to produce an even greater range of aesthetic options.
