Tips for Using Reflective Glass

When a building design calls for high-performance glass, there are several options to choose from. Choosing the right reflective glass for your facades might seem challenging, but fret not. AGC's extensive product portfolio of coated glass offers solutions for creating the perfect match for your facade and interior design.

Selective glazing is a type of reflective glass that allows for optimal energy management and solar control by reducing surface reflection and absorption. This can significantly reduce the light needed to illuminate a space, saving on heating and cooling costs while providing a comfortable atmosphere.

To ensure the best results when selecting a coating for selective glazing, AGC developed the Coating on Demand service that provides glass tailored to the exact needs of designers. This bespoke glass can provide the ideal result for unique and complex projects. This solution can also help with achieving LEED certifications.

AGC is a leading producer of reflective glass and glass-based materials. Its advanced technology and extensive manufacturing operations make it a strong partner for architects and engineers worldwide. An extensive research and development program supports the company's broad product portfolio of glass, windows, and facades.

Glass is essential to modern life, connecting people and transforming how we live, work, and play. AGC is committed to designing and producing innovative glass products that support our customers' sustainable design goals. Its extensive product portfolio includes low-emittance glass for energy efficiency, solar control, and privacy and colored, decorative, and switchable glass.

In addition, AGC offers a wide range of safety glasses for use in construction and automotive applications. AGC's glass solutions are used in electric and autonomous vehicles that are paving the way to the future of mobility. Magnetron sputtering technology is critical to the advanced glass used in these new vehicles.

AGC has developed a glass that lets far-infrared (FIR) cameras penetrate, something ordinary windshields cannot do. This enables sensor fusion and improves driver visibility, particularly at night and in bad weather conditions. It also makes cars safer and helps prevent accidents caused by pedestrians and cyclists.

Stopray is a clear-coated glass that offers reasonable solar control and daylight transmission with a neutral appearance. It can be combined with various anti-reflective coatings for specific aesthetic requirements. Glass can also be printed with various patterns, enhancing the look and feel of the building. Various facades around Europe have been enhanced with this unique printing method. Other special laminates with photo films and heatable glass have also been produced.
