PPG Solarban® 60 Solar Control Low-E Glass can play a critical role in improving the energy efficiency and comfort of your home. When compared to regular glass, you can see how PPG Solarban® 60 Solar Control Low-E Glass can make a dramatic difference in your home. For more information visit: www.ppgglass.com

COOLER IN THE SUMMER
The total solar energy transmitted through Solarban® 60 (2) glass is almost 50% less than that transmitted by standard clear insulating glass.

• Lower SHGC numbers mean less summer heat
• Keeps interiors cooler
• Helps reduce cooling energy costs

TRANSMITS VISIBLE LIGHT/APPEARANCE
The Solarban® 60 (2) window transmits about 88% as much desirable visible light as standard clear insulating glass.

• Provides exterior appearance similar to clear glass
• Provides glare control in bright, sunny

REDUCES ULTRAVIOLET ENERGY
Solarban® 60 (2) galss reduces fabric-fading UV energy 72% more effectively than standard clear insulating glass.

• Helps protect interior furnishings, fabrics and carpets

WARMER IN WINTER
The winter nighttime U-Value (insulating value) of Solarban® 60 (2) glass is almost 50% better than standard clear insulating glass.

• Lower U-values mean higher performance
• Reduces furnace heat loss
• Helps reduce heating energy costs

Note: All comparisons are based on windows containing 3/4" insulating units; two 1/8" (3mm) glass lights and 1/2" (12mm) air-filled space for the standard clear insulating glass and argon gas-filled space for the PPG Solarban® 60 insulating glass. Actual glass performance may differ slightly due to glass thickness, gas fill and glass to frame ratio.
Solar Heat Gain Coeefficient (SHGC) is the ratio of the solar heat gain entering the space through the fenestration product of the incident solar radiation. Solar heat gain includes directly transmitted solar heat and absorbed solar radiation which is then reradiated, conducted, or convected into the space.
Figures may vary due to manufacturing tolerances. All tabulated data are based on the National Feneration Rating Council (NFRC) methodology, using the Lawrence Berkley Nation Laboratory's Window 4.1 software.
