Reflective Glass

Reflective Glass is annealed or standard glass that has a thin layer of metallic or metallic oxide coating. Since this coating is applied to only one side of the glass, it has a mirror-like appearance.

This reflective coating is applied during the float process to enhance the amount of heat reflected by the glass. It can absorb and reflect the sun’s harmful UV and infrared rays yet allow natural visible light to pass through. It also prevents excessive solar glare. However, it does allow natural light to pass through, offering optimal daylighting.

1) Production Pyrolitic (On-Line)

In this method, the metal oxides responsible for tinting or shading are directly applied to the hot glass while it is still inside the annealing lehr (furnace). The coating is fused with the glass when the furnace is at around 1200°C. This process provides the glass pane strength and durability; it can be easily cut, drilled, heat strengthened or toughened afterwards. Coatings applied in this manner are called hard coatings and are relatively more sustainable and eco-friendly. This method is also cost-effective.

2) Vacuum (Magnetron) Process (Off-Line)

In this method, one or more metal oxide coatings is applied to finished glass by creating a vacuum. These coatings are softer and more susceptible to damage, which is why they are applied on the inner side of the glass panels. Their low resistance makes them more usable for double glazing. These soft coats are relatively more expensive as opposed to hard coats provided by the pyrolytic glass.

Advantages

1. provides privacy in commercial structures

2.The glare of light is reduced and hence it provides a comfortable look from inside

3.Helps in energy conservation and reducing the cost of air-conditioning.

4.Reflective glass can be easily cut, tempered, laminated, and incorporated in insulating glass unit
