Commercial Insulating Glass Products

The choice of the right glazing is one of the most important and far-reaching decisions that an architect or building owner will make. This decision impacts the overall design, human comfort, energy efficiency, mechanical HVAC design and loads, daylighting, employee productivity, interior condensation control, ultraviolet fading, and sound control.

In the design of any building (whether it be residential, commercial or industrial) one must look at and take into consideration the six principal glazing design challenges. These are:

Winter Comfort and Heating Load
Summer Comfort and Cooling Load
Natural Daylighting
Appearance and Reflectivity
Ultraviolet Fading Control 
Interior Condensation Control

The Southwall family of wavelength-selective products offer the solutions to all glazing design challenges such as climate, elevation and application. These solutions provide unparalleled flexibility to "tune" a building to meet these needs.

As more and more architects, builders and homeowners adopt Southwall's technology, buildings will move from part of the environmental problem to part of its solution.
