Tinted glass

Make a colorful statement

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.

How it's made

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.
