Is solarban 60 a low-e coating?
The advanced low-e coating of Solarban® 60 glass transmits more than 70% of the sun’s available light into a home while blocking 79% of the sun’s damaging UV energy and other contributors to fading—in all, 24% better than standard clear insulating glass.
Is solarban 60 tinted?
With its ability to block 62 percent of solar energy while allowing 70 percent of visible light to pass through, Solarban® 60 glass can help you provide year-round comfort with heating and cooling cost savings….Substrate Options.

What is solarban glass?
Solarban® R100 glass is a neutral-reflective low-e glass with an excellent solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.23 and VLT of 42 percent.
What is the SHGC of double glazed Solarban 70XL clear?
With a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.27 and visible light transmittance (VLT) of 64 percent in a 1-inch insulating glass unit (IGU), Solarban 70XL glass produces a light-to-solar gain (LSG) ratio of 2.37, which places it among the highest-performing glasses available.
What is SHGC value?
What is SHGC? SHGC is short for solar heat gain coefficient, a number that represents the amount of solar radiation through a window. It’s measured between 0 and 1; a lower number means less solar heat transfer. Though low glass-only SHGC is good, it’s better to have a lower whole window SHGC for optimal heat balance.
What is a good solar heat gain coefficient on a window?
When it comes to an optimal SHGC rating, again you will want to look for a rating of 0.25 or less for efficient energy performance and lower A/C costs. Although for people that like their home on the warmer side should choose a SHGC rating between 0.35-0.60 to allow natural solar heat in.
What is SHGC in glass?
Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient (SHGC) is the amount of heat from direct sunlight that passes through the glass. This includes sunlight which passes directly through the glass to the room and the amount of sunlight which is absorbed by the glass and later reradiated to the room.
How do I convert SHGC to SC?
Use the formula SHGC = SC*0.87 to convert between SHGC and SC. Enter the value that you have and solve algebraically to calculate the value that you don’t have. Multiply SHGC by 1.15 to convert the value from SHGC to SC.
Is higher SHGC value better?
SHGC is short for solar heat gain coefficient, a number that represents the amount of solar radiation through a window. It’s measured between 0 and 1; a lower number means less solar heat transfer. Though low glass-only SHGC is good, it’s better to have a lower whole window SHGC for optimal heat balance.
Is higher SHGC better?
The lower the SHGC, the less solar heat it transmits and the greater its shading ability. A product with a high SHGC rating is more effective at collecting solar heat during the winter. A product with a low SHGC rating is more effective at reducing cooling loads during the summer by blocking heat gain from the sun.
Is SHGC the same as G value?
The “g” value is also called TSET (Total Solar Energy Transmittance), SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) or more simply solar factor. This expresses the share of solar energy that is transmitted through the element to the inside of a building….Solar gain.

How important is SHGC?
It tells the amount of solar radiation that can be admitted by a window. The lower your window’s SHGC is, the less solar heat it transmits. The SHGC is especially important during the summer due to how it influences your home’s energy efficiency.
