Embrace privacy, aesthetics and functionality in harmony

Meet SunGuard™ SNR 43 coating on clear glass, the double-silver solution that redefines your architectural possibilities. This coating on clear offers the same strong 0.22 SHGC as modern triple-silver coatings, but doubles the level of outdoor reflectivity at 28%. Combined with a 43% visible light transmission, this translates to more privacy for occupants, a seamless vision-to-spandrel blend and the ability to adjust light levels to help reduce glare. The light silver-blue outdoor reflected color adds a touch of sophistication to your exteriors. Plus, its low interior reflectivity of 14% enhances interior-to-exterior views.
