Guardian Tinted Glass |
Guardian tinted glass offers exciting design possibilities in both exterior façades and interior décors – whether in homes or commercial buildings. Its performance and aesthetic properties also make it convenient for the automotive and transportation sectors. Guardian-tinted glass is produced by adding small amounts of metal oxides to the float glass as it has been made. The strength of the tint affects the overall performance of the glass, including visible light, privacy, and solar heat transmission. Tinted glass is also usually tempered, to prevent breakage from high solar heat absorption. Gray
