AGC Interpane: New solar control glass

AGC Interpane relies on the “Trinity” for double silver

AGC Interpane is gearing its double silver-coated and particularly color-neutral “Stopray Vision” solar control glass to the growing demands of the market and is currently the only manufacturer to offer the complete range as optically identical toughenable variants, as ribbon sizes for further processing or fixed sizes for the project business – in flexible dimensions up to 3.21 x 19 meters. “At AGC Interpane, we call these three advantages our ‘Trinity’, which is designed to give customers more flexibility and speed. With Stopray Vision 70/35, 62/33, 52/27 and 40/21, we offer solutions for every architectural requirement in terms of daylight transmission and for thermal insulation in summer, all also in a toughenable ‘T’ version,” explains Steffen Kittler, Sales Manager at AGC Interpane.

In modern glass façades, planners today often face the challenge of having to equip parts of the façade with toughened glazing, while non-tempered glazing is preferred in the directly adjacent areas of the façade. With the double silver-coated “Stopray Vision” solar control glazing from AGC Interpane, the normal layers are therefore visually identical to their toughened versions – so they can be perfectly combined in the façade. The highly selective Stopray Vision 70/35(T) is aimed at projects where the focus is on high daylight transmission into the building and at the same time a low g-value of 35 percent effectively protects the rooms from overheating in summer. If, for example, 40 percent daylight transmission is already sufficient due to the large dimensions of the glazing or a corresponding geographical location, Stopray Vision 40/21(T) also achieves a particularly low g-value of just 21 percent in order to significantly reduce the summer climate load. The products Stopray Vision 62/33(T) and Stopray Vision 52/27(T) cover the areas in between. With a Ug value of just 0.6 W/(m2K) (in triple glazing with argon filling), all Stopray Vision solar control glazing also provides excellent protection against rooms cooling down in cold temperatures.

The available dimensions also cover the entire spectrum of today’s architectural visions: AGC Interpane Architectural Glass, the newly created unit as a merger of the German project locations in Plattling and Lauenförde, supplies Stopray Vision solar control glass in dimensions of up to 3.21 x 19 meters in the German and international project business, including the associated technical application advice. All solar control glass from the Stopray Vision series has been awarded the Cradle to Cradle silver certificate and is also available in “low carbon” versions as part of the AGC Group’s new CO2-reduced production. By using them, architects and planners improve the classification of their buildings in environmental certifications according to DGNB, LEED, BREEAM etc.
