COMPONENTS & ENHANCEMENTS OVERVIEW
VIRACON NOMENCLATURE
Viracon utilizes an alphanumeric code for each coated glass product. The code designates the coating as well as the glass
substrate the coating is applied to. This nomenclature is meant to aid in specifying our fabricated glass products however it is
not enough on its own to clearly identify the full glass unit. In a specification, it is important to include the Viracon nomenclature
along with an outline including each component of the glass unit.
The first portion of the code represents the coating family. Within each family, the coatings available have varying degrees of
light transmittance. In our nomenclature, this is represented by the number following the dash.

Outboard Glass
Substrate
Transmittance
of Coating
VE 1 - 85
The number between the Viracon coating family and the nominal light transmittance of the coating is the color of glass the
coating is applied to. In this example, VE-85 is the coating and VE1-85 is the VE-85 coating applied to clear glass.
