Solar control, aesthetic freedom

SunGuard Solar is not only a solar control glass it’s also a highly reflective glass. This helps reduce the solar heating and interior lighting problems that can be caused by strong sunlight. Its reflective qualities also open up a world of possibilities in project design.
