Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) has introduced a new Advanced Low-Emissivity (Low-E) Glass Sample Kit featuring Vitro’s wide range of high-performance Solarban® solar control, low-e glass products for convenient, hands-on comparison.
Each product sample in the Advanced Low-E Glass Sample Kit features a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.25 or less, which indicates a superior ability to reduce the transmittance of heat energy from the sun, making them ideal for use in façade designs requiring daylighting control.
