SOLARLUX® Sonnenschutzglas

More efficiency and environmental protection

Solar radiation consists of roughly half visible light and infra-red radiation. The infra-red element of solar radiation, in particular, is responsible for heating rooms behind glazed areas. It is therefore particularly good in terms of energy use if the coating can “distinguish” between visible light and infrared radiation by passing a high proportion of the visible light through the glass, while the infrared radiation is largely reflected. In this way pressure on the climate in the room or the air conditioning system is relieved, and also daylight is used in the best possible way, which also saves energy used for lighting.

Glass façades now have to put up a tremendous performance: In summer, they are expected to ensure that not too much heat enters the interior of the building, yet there is sufficient daylight to illuminate the rooms. In winter, however, the additional demand made on glass is high thermal insulation, so that it remains comfortably warm inside the building. Our SOLARLUX® solar control glass fulfils all these expectations and much more.

We offer solar control glass in around 60 different variants. Which of these is the right one for your construction project or building depends on various factors as well as your personal design preferences. Our glasses can be easily combined with other functional glasses from ISOLAR® - such as sound insulation glass or alarm glass. An overview of our extensive range of solar control glass is provided below.

SOLARLUX® sunlite A

Function & properties

With our SOLARLUX® A series, you no longer have to choose between need-based solar protection and visual harmony within a building. The requirements for total solar energy transmittance (g-Value) and light transmittance (Lt) are defined by the architect based on the building physics measurements. The four solar control layers A41, A51, A61 and A71 can then be used as required on the different orientations of a building. The uniformity of the colours of the different coatings preserves the visual harmony of the building and reduces the energy requirements of the building. In addition, the increased light transmission on the sides facing away from the sun further contributes to the increased comfort of the building users and occupants. These solar control glasses also stand out for their neutral transmission colour in low external and internal reflection. Further, they are available in the variants of float glass, tempered safety glass and heat strengthened glass and can also be curved or bent.

Applications

Façades and windows, roof and winter garden glazing, noise reduction glazing, structural glazing

Glass Type

Multi-pane insulating glass (double glazing, triple glazing) manufactured using the following components: Laminated safety glass*, tempered safety glass, heat-strengthened glass, float glass*

SOLARLUX® D-Serie

Function & properties

SOLARLUX® D makes many things easier: You can use the same base glass as non-tempered float glass or as tempered safety glass/heat strengthened glass. Due to our innovative layer design, the change in colouration caused by the thermal treatment is barely visible. This allows the combined use of float or tempered safety glass in a building. SOLARLUX® D40, D40 blue D50, D60 and D70 have outstanding optics due to their brilliant, neutral blue-grey external reflection and low angle-dependence.

Applications

Façades and windows, roof glazing, winter garden glazing, noise reduction glazing, structural glazing

Glass Type:

Multi-pane insulating glass (double glazing, triple glazing) manufactured using the following components: Laminated safety glass*, tempered safety glass, heat-strengthened glass, float glass*

SOLARLUX® E71

Efficient solar control for your façade

Function & properties

SOLARLUX® E71 is the further development of our long-standing and proven product SOLARLUX® platin. By optimizing the technical parameters, SOLARLUX® E71 has now achieved a Ug-value of 1.0 W/(m²K) and a g-value of 39%. Thus, it provides effective sun protection in summer and thermal insulation in winter. In addition, the reflection colour has been adapted. The low light reflection also ensures perfect transparency. SOLARLUX® E71 provides you with an extremely neutral, low-reflection solar control glass. The economic advantages remain unchanged as with its predecessor product.

Applications

Façades and windows, roof glazing, winter garden glazing, noise reduction glazing

Glass type

Multi-pane insulating glass (double glazing, triple glazing) manufactured using the following components: Laminated safety glass*, tempered safety glass, heat-strengthened glass, float glass*

monolithic solar control glasses

Besides our multi-pane insulating glass range, you can also find monolithic solar control glasses. They can be directly installed in the façade without any additional processing.

SOLARLUX® sunlite A

Function & properties

With SOLARLUX® sunlite A, you enjoy the benefits of both: a laminated safety glass and an effective solar control coating. SOLARLUX® sunlite A is a highly transparent, effective laminated safety glass

solar control glass for monolithic applications. In the classic application—the curtain wall façade with thermal insulation glazing behind it—SOLARLUX® sunlite A achieves previously unattained values in selectivity. Since no de-lamination of the edges is required, SOLARLUX® sunlite A stands out for its uniform appearance.

Applications

Curtain wall façade, glass louvres, spandrel glass, winter garden glazing or windbreak glazing

Glass Type

Monolithic laminated safety glass consisting of tempered glass (TSG / HSG) or combined in multi-pane insulating glass (double glazing, triple glazing)

SOLARLUX® sunlite bright

Function & properties

SOLARLUX® sunlite bright stands out for its silvery reflection and high light transmission. The neutral transmission colour perfectly enhances the excellent photometric properties. This glass opens up new possibilities for applications that could previously only be achieved with pyrolitic coatings (so-called hard coatings). Visually, the glass lends a special charm to any building thanks to its high colour rendering index in transparency and reflection. It can be laminated and bent into laminated safety glass and can be customized by combining with printing or enamelling. The glass can optionally be turned into tempered safety glass or heat strengthened glass or bent as float glass or tempered safety glass. In addition, processing into laminated safety glass (also with layer for film) as well as pre-stressing to tempered safety glass or heat strengthened safety glass is possible without any problems. SOLARLUX® sunlite bright can also be pre-stressed as float glass or tempered safety glass.

Applications

Curtain wall façade, glass louvres, spandrel glass, winter garden glazing or windbreak glazing

Glass Type

Monolithic laminated safety glass consisting of toughened glass (TSG / HSG) or float glass

SOLARLUX® sunlite grey

Function & properties

With similar properties as SOLARLUX® sunlite bright, SOLARLUX® sunlite grey has a neutral grey reflection as well as transmission and has impressive optical properties. It can also be used as non-tempered float glass or as tempered safety glass or heat strengthened glass. SOLARLUX® sunlite grey can be laminated and bent into laminated safety glass.

Applications

Curtain wall façade, glass louvres, spandrel glass, winter garden glazing or windbreak glazing

Glass Type

Monolithic glass Float/TSG/HSG or also LSG or combined into multi-pane insulating glass (double glazing, triple glazing)

SOLARLUX® variodirect – Insulating glass with built-in blinds

Function & properties

The integration of a blind in the space between the panes of our classic solar control glass SOLARLUX® adds a little affix to its name: variodirect. But adds great value to SOLARLUX® variodirect: The built-in blinds allow flexible adaptation of the building envelope to different external influences and—unlike externally installed roller shutters or Venetian blinds—they are lastingly protected against dirt, dust and mechanical damage in the space between the glass panes. The system is completely maintenance-free and works in any wind and weather. Installing SOLARLUX®variodirect as a complete system eliminates the need for all additional attachments and fixtures, and the variety of designs and drive types it offers allows it to be integrated in any setting. With SOLARLUX® variodirect, the total energy transmittance (g-Value) and the light transmittance can be adjusted and optimized as required. In this way, the building envelope responds to the constantly changing external influences. Due to the reduction of the total energy transmittance (g-Value), you can reduce the cooling loads of the building air conditioning in the summer months and contribute to environmental protection. In times of lower solar gains, maximum light transmission can increase the comfort and well-being of building users and occupants. In addition, this product allows true privacy from unwanted prying eyes. Apart from their shading effect, the blinds can also be used for targeted light control and thus increase the light penetration of a room. Meeting the stringent requirements for blinds and insulating glass technology is no problem at all for us, thanks to our more than 50 years of experience in insulating glass and our collaboration with leading manufacturers of solar control technology. The installation and connection to the building services is carried out by qualified specialist companies, which guarantees a perfect and long-lasting function of the solar control system in the insulating glass.

Depending on the drive type and installation scenario, SOLARLUX® variodirect is available in four versions:

Type E: with electric drive, stepless raising and lowering as well as turning and tilting for windows and façades.
Type ME: with mechanical drive for stepless raising and lowering, rotating and turning in vertical installation
Type F: with individually aligned fixed slats for continuous sun and glare protection in the roof and façade.

* Depending on the type of coating and glass assembly, there is a risk of thermal breakage of the glazing, which is why it is necessary to check individually whether the glass needs to be heat treated.
