A cool house in the summer with sun-resistant glass
Solar control glass is a smart and sustainable solution to keep the home cool during hot summer days and comfortably warm in winter. This is possible with the Energy 72/38 glass from AGC.
If the outside temperatures rise, it can become too hot in your home, making it more difficult to concentrate and less comfortable to sleep. The fact that your home heats up is due to the sunlight that falls on the windows. It’s important to block this sunlight to lower the temperature in your house.
That is what the sun-resistant Energy 72/38 glass does. Providing superior sun protection without compromising natural light.
This way you can enjoy a cool home while retaining daylight.
Sustainable and energy efficient
Choosing to have energy 72/38 sun protection glass installed is a valuable investment for energy efficiency and comfort at home. Not only does it keep the heat out in the summer, allowing you to enjoy a more comfortable and cooler house, it also provides very good thermal insulation in the winter. This keeps it nice and warm inside and helps to reduce your heating costs.
Moreover, this glass is Cradle to Cradle certified® Silver. This certification is the most ambitious and actionable standard yet for designing and creating products that enable a healthy and sustainable future.
Installing solar control glass is therefore not only beneficial for your personal comfort and energy bill, but also plays into the broader context of environmental impact and sustainability. This makes it valuable for those who want to combine energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
An inconspicuous and maintenance-free solution
Sun protection glass is a solution that fits into any interior. It also saves you the costs associated with the installation, maintenance and, in the long term, the replacement of classic sun protection such as roller shutters, awnings, blinds and specific curtains.
