Architects creating the next generation of buildings now can choose from the latest generation of high-performance glass with the introduction SNX 62/27,the latest in Guardian Industries SunGuard SuperNeutral (SN) series of advanced architectural glass.
Visitors can learn about this and other innovations in glass from Guardian Industries at Booth # 928 at the Build Boston tradeshow and conference, Nov. 16-18 at the Seaport World Trade Center.
A new solution for architects who specify exterior glass for commercial projects, SNX 62/27 offers plenty of natural light with an improved solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) that raises the glazing light-to-solar gain ratio to 2.30. This broadens the range of design options and performance possibilities - including helping more projects qualify for LEED points.
"SNX 62/27 glass performs extremely well in blocking solar heat gain, thanks to three microscopically thin silver layers in the coating (often referred to as the 'triple silver process')," said Chris Dolan, director of commercial glass marketing. "Architects and building owners can achieve maximum energy efficiency while retaining high visible light transmission, making the new product suitable for all types of commercial projects."
The product also features a neutral exterior appearance, so that buildings still reap the performance benefit without a dark or overly reflective look. SNX 62/27 helps make the SunGuard brand the widest selection of industry-leading performance products, offering multiple color and appearance options for commercial coatings and a wide variety of application flexibility. SNX 62/27 is available on five float glass substrates - clear, UltraWhite low-iron, CrystalGray, Green and TwilightGreen.
