Specialty Window Glass Options

Explore specialty window glass types for thermal control, solar management, acoustics, safety, design and privacy — specified with your window system and project goals.

Low-E / Thermal Insulation Glass

Th low-emissivity coating

Low-emissivity coatings help reduce radiant heat loss while retaining daylight in insulated glass units.

Designed for insulated glass units.

One low-emissivity coating in typical reference setups.

Can be combined with standard or safety glass.

Solar Control Glass

Selective, tinted/absorbing and reflective glass families help manage solar heat gain and glare.

Selective: Cool-Lite SKN 154 / 165 / 176, Guardian Sun 35 / 39.

Tinted / absorbing: Parsol, Planibel.

Reflective: Mirastar, Stopsol, Cool-Lite ST / STB.

Acoustic / Soundproof Glass

Acoustic insulated glazing is specified where noise reduction is a project priority.

Insulated glazing unit acoustic performance up to Rw 51 dB in selected configurations.

Glass-only Rw values do not guarantee a whole-window decibel rating.

Safety Glass

Tempered (ESG) and laminated (VSG) safety glazing options for impact and fall-out risk management.

Tempered / toughened (ESG): verified thicknesses 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 mm.

Laminated safety (VSG): verified range from 6.38 mm (33.1) through 28 mm depending on configuration.

EN 12600 / EN 356, where referenced, are European classifications — not U.S. code compliance claims.

ANSI or CPSC certification is not claimed unless separately verified for the quoted configuration.

Decorative Glass

Sandblasted, acid-etched, laminated color, ornamental and enameled options for design-driven elevations.

Sandblasted

Acid-etched / matte

Laminated color

Ornamental / patterned

Enameled RAL-colored ESG

Custom patterns where available

Fire Protection Glass

Fire-protection glazing for compatible, properly rated assemblies — not a drop-in upgrade to ordinary windows.

Fire-protection glazing is available only as part of compatible, properly rated assemblies.

Switchable Privacy Glass

Digi Glass

Electrically switchable privacy glass that changes between clear and milky states on demand.

48 V DC operation.

About 1 W/m² in transparent mode; 0 W in milky/privacy mode.

Up to 4 independently controlled zones.

Control by switch or phone.

May be used as single glass or within multi-chamber glazing.

Bird-Safe Glass

AviSafe

UV-reflective bird-safe coatings designed to reduce the risk of bird collisions.

UV-reflective coating active on the first exterior glass surface.

Helps disrupt reflections of vegetation and sky.

Designed to reduce the risk of bird collisions.

Anti-Reflection Glass

Guardian ViewBoost™

Anti-reflection glazing designed to reduce visible reflections and improve clarity.

Anti-Condensation Glass

Guardian ClimaGuard® Dry

Exterior condensation-management coating for suitable triple-glazed units — not an interior humidity cure.

Designed for triple-glazed units.

Reduces exterior condensation risk.

Visible light transmission 62%.

Solar heat gain g = 41%.

Addresses condensation behavior on glazing, especially external condensation in suitable triple-glazed configurations — not interior humidity problems.
