Reducing operational carbon with glass performance

Glass Placeholder

Our latest product solutions can provide improved solar control, insulation and light transmission to help create living environments that require less air conditioning in hot environments, less heating when cold, and maximize natural light, reducing the need for artificial light.

In March 2024, Guardian Glass and the VELUX Group entered a joint development agreement concerning tempered vacuum insulated glass (VIG). This agreement will allow Guardian and VELUX to develop manufacturing processes and capabilities together. 

VIG employs a sophisticated design featuring two glass panes separated by a narrow, vacuum-sealed cavity. This vacuum effectively minimizes convective and conductive heat transfer between the interior and exterior of a building. By significantly reducing thermal conductivity, VIG enhances the overall insulation performance of windows, contributing to improved energy efficiency and thermal comfort within a structure. Tempered VIG has advanced insulating capabilities compared to standard insulated glass, and to non-tempered VIG.

The SABIC Home of Innovation™ in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, features the newest commercially available technologies for creating domestic comfort while saving energy. All windows are glazed in Guardian SunGuard™ SuperNeutral™ 30T, another double silver coated glass that selectively transmits natural light while helping to reduce solar heat gain. Comparing conventional glass applications under similar temperature conditions with its data acquisition system, SABIC Home of Innovation™ estimates that the Guardian SunGuard™ SuperNeutral™ 30T glass reduces the home's air conditioning use by approximately 8% over the course of a week.
