• UV Blocking: Blocks a significant percentage of UV rays, slowing fading of interior furnishings.

• Aesthetic Consistency: Uniform color across large façade areas; popular in Bronze and Grey for office buildings.

FAQ

• Q: Is tinted glass the same as reflective (coated) glass?

  A: No. Tinted glass gets its color from the raw melt (body-tinted); reflective glass has a metallic coating. Tinted glass can be used as the base glass for reflective coating.

  
  

• Q: Can tinted glass be tempered?

  A: Yes, but darker colors absorb more heat in the furnace. We normally recommend 5mm+ for tempering and will advise proper parameters.

  
  

• Q: Which color gives the most heat rejection?

  A: Dark Grey and Dark Bronze generally absorb more solar energy than light tints. Final performance depends on glass thickness and whether it's part of an IGU.
