Solar control, low-emissivity glass

Vitro’s Solarban 65 glass blocks 65% of solar heat energy while allowing 70% of the visible light to pass through in a standard one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU), enabling year-round comfort with heating and cooling cost savings, while maintaining a clear, color-neutral aesthetic. An additional highlight of Solarban 65 glass is its 0.29 winter nighttime U-value, which demonstrates the insulating characteristics of the glass.

Insulating glass

Due to the increasing density of built-up areas and a high volume of air traffic, the noise pollution that residents have to contend with is growing in many places. In Germany, the Aviation Noise Act therefore regulates sound insulation in buildings. The latest generation of SANCO Phon insulating glass offers appropriate solutions for the various noise protection zones surrounding airports and noticeably improves the quality of living spaces. In addition to providing very good thermal insulation, the glass reduces noise pollution by 42 decibels.
