Guardian Glass North America recently debuted its new SunGuard SNX 70+ coated glass helps meet the architectural community’s desire for glass that combines high visible light transmission, a neutral aesthetic and strong thermal performance.
The newest addition to Guardian Glass North America’s commercial range of triple silver coated glass, SunGuard SNX 70+ has a visible light transmission of 68 percent and a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.28 on Guardian UltraClear low-iron glass. The resulting 2.45 light-to-solar gain ratio is the highest in Guardian’s North American SunGuard portfolio. Paired with a 0.28 U-value, this glass can help buildings achieve their energy performance goals.
By matching energy performance with a highly transparent aesthetic, SunGuard SNX 70+ transmits light and color true to life, so that views become vivid, interiors and exteriors connected – all while providing valuable thermal and solar performance.
Designed to be used on the #2 surface of a standard insulating glass unit, SunGuard SNX 70+ can be paired with a variety of substrates at the following thicknesses to help deliver the attractive exteriors and bright, comfortable interiors architects seek:
- 6, 8, 10 and 12 millimeter – Clear and Guardian UltraClear low-iron glass
- 6, 8 and 10 millimeter – Guardian CrystalGray glass
The product requires heat treatment and can be produced on jumbo (130 by 204 inches) and super jumbo lites (130 by 240 inches) at 6- to 12-millimeter thicknesses (clear or Guardian UltraClear low-iron glass).
Guardian SunGuard SNX 70+ is available through the Guardian Select Fabricator network. Visit the website for more information.
