GLASS ETCHED DESIGNED & SAND BLASTED

GGI in conjunction with Southwall Technologies supplies the most energy efficient glass and glazing products in the world. GGI’s glazing products allow expansive use of glass to enhance the appearance of a building without compromising occupant comfort or architectural designs. To achieve this in laminated glass products, it uses California SeriesrM technology also known as Heat Mirror laminated. California Series™ laminated glass addresses the demanding requirements of today’s architects, builders, owners and occupants. California SeriesrTM glass can allow greater than 70% visible transmission while reflecting more than 50% of invisible heat, allowing high quality, energy efficient window design with maximum light transmission and minimum solar heat gain.

California Series™ consists of a thin, wave length - selective XIR® coated film sandwiched between two layers of PVB and glass (see figure 1). Unlike tinted glass products which absorb and reradiate heat into the building, California Series™ laminated glass reflects heat to the outside. Its unique, low visible-reflectivity meets external daytime as well as internal night time visual requirements.

California Series™ laminated glass allows increased design solutions. Whether clear or tinted, it reduces the solar load by as much as 40%. Larger expanses of glass are possible without incurring additional cooling costs. Vertical, sloped and overhead glazing as well as rooms and offices with direct sun exposure will benefit from reduced heat gain. Additional benefits include reduced sound transmission and ultraviolet fading protection (99.5% UV blockage). California Series™ laminated glass combines significant solar control with high light transmission and low visible reflectivity. It is available in a wide palette of colours.
