SG 500
Glass Reliability
SG 500 Low-E Glass is one of the industry’s most trusted and reliable products. And, with the increased
emphasis on energy efficiency and green building, the value of this proven technology continues to grow with age.
Aesthetic Options
SG 500 coated glass yields the color neutrality of clear uncoated glass, together with dramatically improved
performance.
SG 500 Versatility
The key advantage of SG 500 glass is its versatility. In situations that would benefit from passive solar energy,
the ability of SG 500 glass to transmit the warming rays of the sun (as measured by its higher solar heat gain
coefficient) can lower heating requirements. It can also be paired in insulating unit with any
tinted glasses to improve solar performance or provide additional aesthetic options
Fabrication
SG 500 Low-E Glass provides maximum processing
flexibility and can be easily laminated, tempered or heat strengthened to satisfy increased strength or safety
glazing requirements. As a pyrolytic or “hard coat,”
