Vitro Architectural Glass is commemorating 25 years of Solarban 60 glass. Introduced in 2000, Solarban 60 glass is a double-silver vacuum temperable low-e glass that allowed for post-manufacturing fabrication.
Product details
In a standard 1-inch insulating glass unit (IGU), Solarban 60 glass delivers a visible light transmittance of 70% and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.39, helping provide year-round comfort with heating and cooling cost savings. In addition to standard clear glass, Solarban 60 glass can be paired with an outboard lite of low-iron, tinted or reflective-tinted glass by Vitro.
When paired with Starphire Ultra-Clear glass by Vitro, a transparent low-iron glasses, Solarban 60 Starphire glass delivers a visible light transmittance (VLT) of 74% and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.41, allowing for improved thermal performance, clarity, daylighting and occupant comfort.
Pairing Solarban 60 glass with the neutral color tint of Optiblue glass combines the solar control of a low-e coating with a soothing, neutral, steel blue‑gray aesthetic, helping control glare and improve daylighting.
Solarban 60 glass is showcased on many COTE award-winning and LEED certified buildings and structures and remains a choice for architects who want to prioritize energy efficiency, daylighting and occupant comfort.
