Tinted Glass

Tinted (or heat absorbing) glass is produced by the float process with the addition of small quantities of metal oxides to color the normally clear glass mix. This coloration is achieved by adding metal oxides at the smelting stage.

The addition of color does not affect the basic properties of the glass, even though the visible light reflectance will be slightly higher than for clear glass. The color density increases with thickness, whereas the visible transmittance decreases with increasing thickness.

Tinted glass reduces solar transmittance by absorbing most of the solar energy - the majority of which is subsequently dissipated to the outside by re-radiation and convection.

1.Solar Control: Tinted glass helps to reduce the amount of heat and glare from sunlight entering a space, improving comfort and energy efficiency by reducing the need for air conditioning.
2.UV Protection: Tinted glass can block a significant amount of harmful UV rays, protecting interior furnishings, flooring, and artwork from fading and damage caused by sun exposure.
3.Privacy: Tinted glass provides added privacy by obscuring the view from the outside while maintaining visibility from the inside, making it ideal for commercial buildings, vehicles, and residential properties.
4.Glare Reduction: Tinted glass reduces glare from sunlight, improving visual comfort and reducing eye strain in spaces with high exposure to natural light.
5.Aesthetics: Tinted glass adds a sleek and modern appearance to buildings and vehicles, enhancing their visual appeal and creating a distinctive design statement.

1.Residential Windows: Tinted glass is often used in residential windows to improve privacy, control light transmission, and enhance the overall aesthetics of the home.
2.Commercial Buildings: Tinted glass is commonly used in office buildings, shopping centers, and hotels to reduce heat gain, improve energy efficiency, and create a comfortable interior environment.
3.Automotive Industry: Tinted glass is widely used in vehicles for privacy, glare reduction, and UV protection, enhancing the comfort and safety of drivers and passengers.
4.Skylights and Canopies: Tinted glass is used in skylights, canopies, and atriums to control light transmission, reduce heat buildup, and create a more pleasant indoor environment.
5.Decorative Applications: Tinted glass can be used for decorative purposes such as partitions, doors, shower enclosures, and glass furniture, adding style and functionality to interior spaces.
