Overview


Solarban® Acuity® Series

Developed based on 30 years of experience manufacturing Starphire Ultra-Clear® glass, Acuity® glass is produced utilizing proprietary low-iron materials and processes. Designed specifically for exterior vision glazing applications, Acuity® low-iron glass serves as a substrate for Solarban® low-e coatings and is 60% less green than standard "clear" glass. It is suitable for all lites in an insulating glass unit (IGU) or laminated configuration, offering exceptional performance and optimal aesthetics for a fraction of the total installed façade cost.

For configurations that require exposed edges, such as interior applications, Vitro recommends Starphire Ultra-Clear® low-iron glass, known for its distinctive azure blue edge and exceptional clarity. Starphire® glass is 87% less green than standard "clear" glass and can also be paired with Solarban® low-e coatings.

All configurations include uncoated Acuity® glass as the interior lite. Available coatings include:

  • Solarban® 60 Glass
  • Solarban® R67 Glass (formerly Solarban® 67 Glass)
  • Solarban® R77 Glass
  • Solarban® 72 Glass
  • Solarban® 90 Glass
  • Solarban® R100 Glass
Applications

In addition to office buildings, institutions, hotels and schools, Solarban® Acuity® glass can be specified for exterior applications from luxury condominiums and mixed-use buildings to entrances and storefronts. Solarban® Acuity® glass is also ideal for distinctive exterior applications such as atriums, skylights and spandrel glass.

Fabrication & Availability

Acuity® glass is available in 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm thicknesses. Solarban® Acuity® glass is stocked at all Vitro facilities for immediate shipment with the same lead time as all Solarban® glass products. All Solarban® solar control low‑e glasses are available through the Vitro Certified® Network.
