Vitro Architectural Glass is commemorating the 2025 milestones of additional members of its Solarban solar control low-e glass portfolio. In addition to Solarban 60 glass celebrating 25 years, Vitro recognizes 20 years of Solarban 70 glass and 10 years of Solarban 90 glass.
The introduction of Solarban 70 glass represented a pivotal advancement in architectural glazing technology. This product was the first to successfully integrate a third silver layer into its coating, thereby elevating glass performance to a previously unachievable standard within the industry. Two decades later, Solarban 70 glass remains the most proven, commonly specified triple-silver-coated low-e glass on the market.
In a one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU), Solarban 70 glass delivers a visible light transmittance (VLT) of 64 percent and a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.27. Its exceptional optical clarity and advanced thermal performance go beyond conventional limits, maximizing natural daylighting, elevating aesthetic appeal and enhancing overall building efficiency.
Introduced in 2015, Solarban 90 glass pioneered quad-silver coated low-e technology, delivering an unparalleled combination of neutral-reflective aesthetics and superior solar control performance. This advanced glazing maintains an appearance similar to clear glass, both in color and reflectance, from interior and exterior perspectives. Its innovative design has garnered industry recognition, providing architects with expanded high-performance and aesthetic options for sustainable building envelopes.
In a one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU), Solarban 90 glass delivers visible light transmittance (VLT) of 51 percent and a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.23.
Solarban 60 glass, Solarban 70 glass and Solarban 90 glass can be combined with Vitro’s low-iron substrates like Starphire Ultra-Clear glass and Acuity glass for a more crisp, colorless appearance, and can be paired with Vitro’s range of performance tinted glasses. With a legacy spanning over six decades, Solarban glass has consistently pioneered glass innovation, securing its reputation as a trusted and proven solution for superior solar control and thermal performance.
