Products designed to bring affordable, energy-efficient glazings to developing market segments
Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) announced that it has launched LUMAX® 51 and LUMAX® 68 glasses, two neutral-reflective glasses specially formulated for commercial buildings in many of the warm/hot climate zones in Latin America that still lack, to significant degree, the design, enforcement and implementation of energy-related building codes.
Designed with a neutral, light-gray aesthetic, both products were created for use in areas where coated low-emissivity (low-e) and multi-pane insulating glass units (IGUs) have low market penetration or have not been widely adopted. Each is formulated with a basic magnetron sputtered vacuum deposition (MSVD) coating, which is applied to the interior side (second surface) of a monolithic glass panel.
