Premium Glass Options: Performance-Based Selection

The selection of appropriate glazing materials represents one of the most critical decisions in storefront design, directly impacting energy performance, occupant comfort, security, and long-term operational costs. Modern glass technology offers numerous options for optimizing thermal performance, solar control, and safety characteristics to meet specific project requirements.

Insulated Glass Units (IGUs)

Insulated glass units form the foundation of modern commercial glazing systems, utilizing two or more glass panes separated by spacer systems and sealed to create insulating air spaces. The thermal performance of IGUs significantly exceeds that of single-pane installations, with standard 1-inch units providing U-factors of 0.47 compared to 1.10 for single-pane glass.

The construction of high-performance IGUs involves several critical components that collectively determine thermal and optical performance. Primary and secondary seals prevent moisture intrusion and maintain the integrity of the insulating air space, while spacer systems minimize thermal bridging at the glass edge. Desiccant materials within the spacer system absorb any residual moisture to prevent condensation between glass panes.

Gas fills represent an important performance enhancement for IGUs, with argon gas providing improved thermal resistance compared to air-filled units. Argon-filled IGUs typically achieve U-factor improvements of 0.02-0.03 compared to air-filled units, representing a 5-7% enhancement in thermal performance. Expected service life for quality IGUs ranges from 15-25 years, with seal failure typically manifesting as condensation or fogging between glass panes.

Low-E Coatings: Advanced Solar Control

Low-emissivity coatings represent the most significant advancement in commercial glazing technology, providing dramatic improvements in thermal performance while maintaining high levels of visible light transmission. These microscopically thin metallic coatings selectively reflect infrared radiation while allowing visible light to pass through, effectively reducing heat transfer without compromising natural lighting.

SOLARBAN 60 Solar Control Low-E Glass represents a high-performance option particularly suitable for New Jersey's climate conditions. When assembled in 1-inch IGUs, SOLARBAN 60 achieves a U-factor of 0.29 and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.38 while maintaining 70% visible light transmittance. This combination provides excellent solar control for reducing cooling loads while preserving natural lighting quality.

SOLARBAN 70 High Performance Low-E Glass offers even greater solar control with an SHGC of 0.27 and U-factor of 0.28, making it ideal for applications where maximum energy performance is required. The 64% visible light transmittance maintains good natural lighting while providing superior heat rejection for buildings with high internal heat gains or extensive glazed areas.

Safety & Security Glass Solutions

Laminated Safety Glass

Laminated glass provides enhanced security and safety performance through the incorporation of polymer interlayers that hold glass fragments together when broken. This construction method creates glazing systems that resist forced entry while maintaining optical clarity and providing protection against injury from glass fragments.

Security applications often utilize multiple interlayers or specialized materials to resist forced entry attempts. These systems can withstand repeated impacts from hammers, crowbars, and other common tools while maintaining structural integrity, making them particularly valuable for banks, jewelry stores, and other high-risk retail applications.

Tempered Safety Glass

Tempered glass provides safety glazing performance through heat treatment that creates strength approximately four times greater than annealed glass. When broken, tempered glass fractures into small, relatively harmless fragments rather than large, sharp shards. Building codes require tempered glass in numerous storefront applications, including all door glazing and glazing within 24 inches of door openings.

Specialty Glass Options

Tinted and Reflective Glass

Tinted glass provides solar control through metallic oxides incorporated during manufacturing, while reflective coatings provide superior solar control through reflection. These options offer both functional benefits and distinctive aesthetic effects to complement your business design.
