Heat absorbing windows, manufactured by Vanceva, offer solar performance superior to that of previously available laminating systems. Alone, or when combined with solar management glass, this new glazing interlayer provides the architectural marketplace with new, cost effective options to control heat and energy loads in buildings.
By selectively reducing the transmittance of solar energy relative to visible light, these solar performance interlayers produce glazing systems that can result in savings in the capital cost of energy control equipment as well as operating costs of climate control equipment.

Benefits:

• Energy efficiency
Keeps solar heat out of a building while maintaining optimal visible light transmission, facilitating lower capital expenditures on energy control equipment and lower operating costs of equipment

• Safety and security
When subjected to accidental impact, the glass and solar interlayer combine to absorb the force of the impact. Should the force be sufficient to break the glass, the resulting fragments tend to remain adhered to the solar interlayer.

• Ultraviolet protection
The solar interlayer blocks up to 99% of the sun's UV rays while allowing the important visible light to pass through.

• Design versatility
Architectural laminated glass, made with solar interlayer, can be used in curtain walls, windows, doors, skylights, shop fronts, and virtually any other application imaginable.
