Guardian Glass in the Middle East and Africa has introduced three new

coated solar control glass products, all of which offer enhanced

aesthetics, as well as excellent performance, product availability and

quality. These products are specifically developed to meet architects’

requirements for high performance glass where appearance matters as

well as building’s impact on its surrounding.

The SunGuard® Double Silver (DS) range from Guardian Glass combines

solar or low-e coatings to provide a great balance between light

transmission and thermal insulation for commercial building projects.

These high-performance double silver coated solar control glass

products are readily available in three new colours tuned to meet the

aesthetic requirements of architects.

This new addition to the SunGuard® DS range satisfies current

architectural design trends by providing a neutral steel grey

appearance that architects desire. This opens new design possibilities

for architects that can help give their projects a unique edge, flair

and style. The glass also provides high performance in terms of

visible light transmission, solar protection and thermal insulation –

making it an ideal choice for double-glazed windows and façades.

This new product from the SunGuard® Double Silver range provides a

striking, natural emerald green appearance. The enhanced aesthetics

are combined with optimal performance attributes in terms of light

transmission, solar protection and thermal insulation.

Guardian ClimaGuard® is a growing family of advanced glass products

designed specifically to provide superior thermal protection and a

desired performance well suited for the region’s climate. Ideal for

use in windows, doors, skylights and conservatories, the enhanced

appearance of the glass can help make living and working spaces more

beautiful, comfortable, safe and energy efficient. The glass can be

tailored to suit specific climates and help meet performance

expectations or achieve distinctive styles, opening new design

possibilities.

ClimaGuard® Shadow Grey is a new highly durable and easy to process

low-E coating with a desirable grey appearance on a clear substrate.

Suitable for both insulated and laminated glass applications, the

glass offers superior thermal insulation, while allowing plenty of

natural daylight into the building.

All three new products are available on clear substrate, which means a

more efficient manufacturing process, which in turn means better value

for customers in terms of product quality, cost and availability.

Guardian Glass is continuously innovating and refining its SunGuard®

and ClimaGuard® ranges of coated solar control glass products to

continue helping architects and designers see what’s possible™ with

glass, as well as helping meet their design visions and expectations.
