Reflective Coated Glass

Coatings can be applied to glass that can reflect heat radiation yet transit light like glass. The properties of indium tin oxide coated glass make it a popular choice of material for environmentally friendly construction and low emissivity (Low-E) windows. The ability to regulate temperature is beneficial for rooms like scientific research labs.

Low-E Windows

The use of reflective ITO coatings on glass windows results in a reduction of heat loss and gain. Throughout the year, temperatures can be better regulated and buildings are cheaper to heat.

Heat generated within a building will be preserved by the coated glass’ reflective ability, allowing the heat to remain in the building. Costs of heating will be reduced in the winter for buildings using low-e windows.

In the summer, the heat from the sun is reflected by the ITO coated glass, keeping the building cool, cutting down on costs of running air conditioning, and helping reduce environmental impact.

Uses of Reflective Glass

ITO reflective coatings can be used in the automotive industry too though the use of reflective auto glass in vehicles. Vehicles are more environmentally due to the reduction or elimination of climate control methods needed when using reflective coated glass.

Another application of reflective coated glass to control temperature is in scientific research. Some research labs may require strict climate control and glass can be used to stabilise the temperature.

Benefits of Reflective Coated Glass

As well as the positive impact using ITO coated glass has on the environment, there are also financial benefits due to reduced need of climate control systems like heating.

The finish of reflective glass coatings can be varied and tinted to reduce glare. This reduces eye strain in office environments. The finish can be metallic in nature yet designed so people can see out of the windows.

When being used in scientific labs, where temperatures need to be controlled, reflective coated glass can provide protection by stabilising conditions in event of a power outage or electrical problems.

Why Use ITO Float Glass?

Obviously, with Float Glass being the most commonly used of all glass types, there will always be a requirement for ITO Float Glass.

The Uses Of Conductive Glass

Conductive glass really is a thing… glass that has the ability to conduct electricity! This sounds pretty cool on the face of it, but what are the uses of conductive glass? Read on!

Indium Tin Oxide Coated Glass

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is a fantastic substance that has two characteristics that make it ideal for a number of applications: Firstly, it is optically clear, and secondly it is electrically conductive.

Why use Interactive Touch Film?

You may not know what an interactive touch film is, we are going to break this down so you have a better idea of exactly why you would look to use interactive touch films.
