Guardian Glass announced the launch of its new triple silver low-E coated glass in North America. The advanced triple silver coating technology delivers a consistently neutral reflected color regardless of viewing angle, while achieving a Light to Solar Gain (LSG) ratio of 2.41.
Product details
SunGuard SNX 60+ glass has been engineered to maintain a uniform, neutral reflected color—whether monolithic or laminated (also with embedded coating). Inside, the glass offers a neutral transmitted color, allowing natural daylight to enter while helping to reveal the true colors of interior finishes and furnishings. To support clear views and transparent connections between indoors and outdoors, SunGuard SNX 60+ glass provides low external and internal light reflection—14% and 15% respectively.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, SunGuard SNX 60+ glass delivers solar control and thermal insulation. The glass allows 60% visible light transmission while achieving an LSG ratio of 2.41, helping balance daylighting and heat gain. With a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.25 and a U-value of 0.29, SunGuard SNX 60+ can contribute to reduced cooling loads, enhanced thermal comfort, and helps to meet stringent energy codes.
SunGuard SNX 60+ is available on a variety of glass substrates, including Guardian Clear standard float glass, Guardian CrystaClear and Guardian UltraClear low-iron glass to further enhance color neutrality, as well as Gray, CrystalGray and Green tinted glass options. These substrate choices offer architects flexibility to tailor performance and appearance to the project requirements. The product is offered in 6-, 8-, 10- and 12-millimeter thicknesses, in super jumbo (130 inches by 240 inches), jumbo (130 inches by 204 inches) and split sizes, and requires heat-treatment by a Guardian Select Fabricator.
What Guardian leadership says
“SunGuard SNX 60+ is our most advanced triple silver low-E coated glass to date, offering unprecedented neutrality and consistency combined with leading energy performance,” says Vice President of Product, Sector Management and Innovation at Guardian Glass Suresh K. Devisetti. “The technology behind this product opens up new possibilities for architectural expression and energy efficiency—not only in North America but across the regions where Guardian Glass operates.”
