Types and Applications for
SunGuard^® Advanced Architectural Glass

SunGuard Advanced Architectural Glass can be used in many different applications to keep energy costs down, let in more light and provide added security – while still creating a striking design.

Insulating GlassTwo or more lites of glass are sealed with an air space between them to form insulating glass. Insulating glass significantly improves glass performance and provides more appearance options as well.

Laminated GlassTwo or more lites, heat and pressure-bonded with plastic interlayers, form laminated glass. Find out how it can answer your storm or security concerns.

Heat-Strengthened GlassWith a surface compression at least double that of raw glass, (between 3,500 and 7,000 PSI), see how heat-strengthened glass provides additional strength against wind load and thermal stress.

Tempered GlassEven stronger than heat-strengthened glass, its surface compression is four times that of raw glass, (10,000 PSI or higher). Find out where tempered glass is required.

Spandrel GlassSpandrels are opaque glass panels designed to conceal building components and match or contrast with vision glass.

Silk-Screened GlassThe printed patterns of silk-screened glass can provide extra privacy and stunning design options. Find out how.
