HIGH PERFORMANCE COATINGS<br />
high performance coatings<br />
Coating location<br />
Coatings are thin layers of metal applied to glass to improve solar performance. The first coatings utilized on building facades were<br />
reflective coatings which provide a mirror-like appearance and reduce solar heat gain by reflecting the sun’s energy away from the building.<br />
Today, the most popular coatings applied to glass are low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings. Coatings with low-emissivity properties<br />
have low heat transfer properties and offer higher light transmission than traditional reflective coatings.<br />
Viracon offers a broad selection of both reflective and Low-E coatings. Our coatings can be applied to clear or tinted<br />
glass substrates. In addition, a silk-screen pattern can be applied to the same surface as the coating for excellent solar<br />
performance and appearance.<br />
The specific coating needed for a given project is typically dictated by a required solar performance or a desired appearance.<br />
