Processing: The Solar Control Glass range can be cut to the required size, beveled and edge worked as required. Besides, this range can be processed into Double Glazed units, tempered or laminated to meet safety norms.

 

Power saving / Star ratings:

 

The Solar Control Glass range comes with a special coating that provides heat control / power savings. You can now choose from a range of heat control / power saving glass solutions.

 

The power saving of the glass is inversely proportional to the solar factor of the glass. Depending upon the solar factor the glass is given different Solar rating. The higher the Solar rating, the better the heat control and electricity saving.
