The Architecture of the most demanding offices, administrative buildings and industrial facilities increasingly makes use of glass, a characteristic which with its transparency and various colour varieties enables the creation of ever more daring facades and even the entire exterior cladding of a building from glass.
This has created a host of energy-related challenges which have to be dealt with by architects: for instance, the high flow of light in summer shouldn’t cause undesirable overheating, while in winter heat losses in such glazing must be kept to an absolute minimum.
The solution to this problem is solar protective glazing – a range of absorptive, reflective and highly selective types of glass manufactured by REFLEX, which can be used in combination with Low-e thermal insulating glazing.
