Solarban® 60 was engineered to control solar heat gain, which
is essential to minimizing cooling costs. In a standard one inch insulating glass
unit, Solarban® 60 has the following features:
- Exterior appearance similar to clear, uncoated glass
- Blocks approximately 60% of the total solar energy
- Excellent insulation value (U-Value = 0.29)
Solarban® 60 glass is now available on Starphire® ultra-clear glass and can also be combined in insulating units with an outboard
lite of a PPG tinted or reflective tinted glass to increase performance options
(see performance data to right and on page 21).
Note: This product meets the new energy efficiency guidelines set forth by
the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) for spectrally selective glazing
products.
LSG Ratio: Using the Light to Solar Gain Ratio (LSG) allows performance comparisons
to be made between glazing products, and highlights the standards set by PPG
glasses. The LSG ratio is the ratio of visible light transmittance to solar
heat gain coefficient. The higher the LSG ratio, the better the glazing is at
reducing unwanted solar heat gain and maximizing desirable natural light
transmittance. Excellent LSG ratios can be attained using spectrally selective
tinted glasses and/or Solarban® Solar Control
Low-E glasses.
Solarban® 80 glass is designed to address the need of
a single product for superior solar control, high visible light transmittance
and aesthetic appeal.
Like no other glass, Solarban® 80 glass creates a dynamic
exterior aesthetic. A sample viewed indoors provides a glimpse of the same steel
jade appearance exhibited by Solarban® 80 glass when shaded
from the sun. When the glass is bathed in direct sunlight, the glass transforms
into a satin reflective finish, with true color reflected images...of the sky
that looks blue and trees and landscaping that look green.
Solarban® 80 glass has a Light to Solar Gain (LSG) Ratio*
of an unbeatable 1.96, placing it at the top of its class.
- A one-inch insulating unit of Solarban® 80 (2) clear
glass provides:
- Optimum balance among visible light transmittance, glare control and superior
solar control
- A satin finish that reflects undistorted images, clear and crisp, but not
overpowering
- Solar control properties that meet the most stringent mechanical requirements
- True color transmittance for building occupants
