Guardian Glass announces the launch of its new triple silver low-E coated glass in North America, setting a new benchmark by combining a remarkably crisp, neutral aesthetic with outstanding energy performance. The advanced triple silver coating technology delivers a consistently neutral reflected color regardless of viewing angle, while achieving an exceptional Light to Solar Gain (LSG) ratio of 2.41*.
SunGuard SNX 60+ glass has been engineered to maintain a uniform, neutral reflected color—whether monolithic or laminated (also with embedded coating). Inside, the glass offers an impressively neutral transmitted color, allowing abundant natural daylight to enter while helping to reveal the true colors of interior finishes and furnishings. To support clear views and transparent connections between indoors and outdoors, SunGuard SNX 60+ glass provides low external and internal light reflection—14% and 15% respectively.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, SunGuard SNX 60+ glass delivers industry-leading solar control and thermal insulation. The glass allows 60 percent visible light transmission while achieving an LSG ratio of 2.41, helping balance daylighting and heat gain. With a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.25 and a U-value of 0.29, SunGuard SNX 60+ can contribute to reduced cooling loads, enhanced thermal comfort, and helps to meet stringent energy codes.
Multiple options for design and performance
SunGuard SNX 60+ is available on a variety of glass substrates, including Guardian Clear standard float glass, Guardian CrystaClear and Guardian UltraClear low-iron glass to further enhance color neutrality, as well as Gray, CrystalGray and Green tinted glass options for distinctive aesthetics. These substrate choices offer architects flexibility to tailor performance and appearance to their project requirements. The product is offered in 6-, 8-, 10- and 12-mm thicknesses, in super jumbo (130 by 240 inches), jumbo (130 by 204 inches) and split sizes, and requires heat-treatment by a Guardian Select Fabricator.
