Where it can help
Large east, south and west-facing glazed areas can admit substantial heat. A solar-control coating reduces the amount of solar energy passing through the glass while still allowing daylight into the room.
Balance heat and daylight
Different coatings alter light transmission and appearance. The strongest control is not automatically the most comfortable result.
- Orientation and shade
- Size of the glazed area
- Glass colour and reflectance
- Insulation and safety requirements
Part of a wider approach
External shading, persianas and ventilation remain relevant even when the glass is upgraded.
