Blue-tinted float glass for high light transmission and energy performance
Guardian tinted float glass lets in light and spares heat in a range of in-demand colors. Integrate tinted glass into the façade of a commercial building, home décor or in automotive and transportation applications. When tempered, Guardian tinted glass can prevent breakage from high solar heat absorption.
Guardian produces tinted glass by adding small amounts of metal oxides to our high-performance float glass during the manufacturing process. The strength of the tint affects the overall performance of the glass, including privacy and heat-reduction capabilities. Since tinted glass tends to re-radiate absorbed heat, it almost always requires heat treatment to reduce potential thermal stress and breakage.
Guardian offers a range of tints you can choose to control the appearance and performance of glass. Guardian SunGuard® coated glass products come in a range of colors sorted by light transmission. We recommended ordering glass samples for true color representation.
