Solar Control Glass
Special care is required when cleaning any glass. Refer to our recommended cleaning coated glass page.
Sunergy
Sunergy is an energy efficient glass offering excellent performance in control of both solar heat gain and thermal insulation.
Sunergy is a hard coat pyrolitic glass. This technology is the reaction between a high temperature and a gas that creates the continuous application of perfectly uniform layers of metal oxides onto the glass.
A downloadable PDF brochure of this product is available from document download page.

Glass performance chart definitions
VLT
Visible Light Transmission
Percentage of visible light passing through the glass. The higher the percentage the more daylight.
VLR
Visible Light Reflection
Percentage of visible light reflected toward the exterior
U Value
Is a measure of the rate of heat gain or loss though glazing due to environmental differences between outdoor and indoor air.
SHGC
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient
The proportion of total solar radiation that is transferred through the glass at normal incidence. It comprises the direct solar transmission (5) and the part of the solar absorption dissipated inwards by radiation and convection. The lower the number the better the solar performance.
Shading Coefficient
The ratio of solar heat gain through the glass relative to that through 3mm clear glass. The lower the number the better the performance.
Recommended Cleaning Routine for coated glass products
These glass products have a very thin coating on the interior surface of the glass.
Extra care is required when cleaning:
- Any scratching will penetrate the surface of the coating and cannot be repaired.
- Any excessive mechanical treatment might remove the coating.
- Avoid all contact with metal objects.
- Avoid all chemicals that would attack the surface and damage it irreparably.
DO NOT USE:
- Any products containing hydrofluoric acid or fluorine derivatives.
- Highly acidic and alkaline products as they are abrasive.
RECOMMENDED:
- A mixture of one part vinegar with ten parts water.
- Windex Surface and glass cleaner. ( Clear liquid available at supermarkets ) Produced by SC Johnson & Son Pty Ltd.
- Use a clean, lint free towel or cloth
