NEG has developed a revolutionary new process
to bake a metal oxide coat onto the inner surface which enhances reflection of solar heat
and reduces the quantity of heat and light. The ability to inner coat the glass block
effectively eliminates most problems the previous outer coated solar reflective block had:
scratching, dulling and deterioration of the metal oxide coat by weathering. Controlling
strong sunlight, it supports creation of a pleasant living space in a warm region.
Additionally, it prevents glare due to direct sunlight.

The Solar Reflective Glass Block features a
metal oxide coating on the inside surface which greatly reflects solar energy while
reducing the passage of sunlight. Additionally, the air pressure inside the glass block is
one-third the atmospheric pressure. These features help to keep down the use of air
conditioning, thus contributing to energy conservation. And because the reflective coating
is inside the glass block, it will not deteriorate by exposure to air or cleaning
detergents. When used in regions with a hot climate or for walls that receive strong
direct sunlight, Solar Reflective Glass Blocks will control the suns effects to help
create a more comfortable living environment.
