Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered. Much like our other clear glasses, it features a flat surface with a uniform thickness that provides an unobstructed views. Laminated glass is also proficient at improving heat insulation, and insulating sound. With its ability to block 62 percent of total solar energy while allowing 70 percent of visible light to pass through, PPG’s Solarban 60 glass can help you achieve a building design that provides year-round comfort with heating and cooling cost savings. PPG’s Solarban 60 Laminated Glass is just one of the Clear LowE glasses we offer. See below for the performance data of Solarban 60 Laminated Glass, including its light transmittance (LT), Light Reflectance (LR), Solar Energy Transmittance (ET), Solar Energy Reflectance (ER), and Solar Energy Absorptance (EA). -
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered. Much like our other clear glasses, it features a flat surface with a uniform thickness that provides an unobstructed views. Laminated glass is also proficient at improving heat insulation, and insulating sound. Laminated glass should be used over tempered and annealed glass when there is the possibility for human impact, or if the glass could fall. It is also ideal for architectural applications in homes and buildings that will be receiving direct sunlight, as it is very efficient at reflecting UV rays. -
Glue Chip Glass is sandblasted on one side, coated with animal hide glue, and heated. As the drying glue contracts, chips of the sandblasted surface are pulled off creating the unique fern like or “jack frost” pattern. Different patterns are achieved using a variety of processes to give a unique look for each type or style. -
Clear float glass, named for its fabrication process, can be found in almost any home or office building. Clear glass is colorless, so it won’t distort the view outside a window or change the look of a framed painting. It can make any space brighter and feel more open and larger. Due to the prism effect glass creates, its edges appear to be green. The thicker the glass, the darker this edge appears—an important feature to remember when considering a piece of glass where the edges are exposed. Clear float glass is perfect for table tops, windows, railings for stairs, and barriers on balconies. When ordering clear glass, consider whether you will need annealed or tempered to ensure you are using the safest solution for your glass. -
Solarbronze glass has been a staple in PPG’s architectural glass offerings since the 1960s because it creates a bold visual statement while maintaining energy efficiency and occupant comfort. A popular choice for commercial structures, Solarbronze glass has a warm bronze tint that adds subtle richness to the exterior and a warm glow to interior décor. The bronze color especially complements brick and stone facades. -
German New Antique (GNA) glass is made to closely resemble mouth blown antique glass. It is a beautiful clear glass that adds a touch of character to any space, sporting striations that give it a subtle texture. Its clarity paired with its unique texture make this glass perfect for shower and bath enclosures, and fits in most contemporary and modern spaces. -
Atlantica glass is the spectrally selective* emerald-green member of PPG’s Oceans of Color collection. As timeless and beautiful as the ocean for which it is named, Atlantica glass combines desirable visible light transmittance and excellent solar heat control with a pleasant green aesthetic that complements a diverse range of building materials.
