Southwall can perform a range of technical services in assisting you in your design and specification activities, including wind and snow load analysis, and glass performance analysis. In addition, Southwall provides product recommendations, project-specific comparative data tables, samples, complete specifications, and a comprehensive Architectural Binder. Contact the closest sales office with your needs.

For a ready formatted or project-specific, three-part CSI Specification Section 08800/glass & glazing, please contact our Architectural Services Department at 800-365-8794.

Shapes: Available in virtually any shape, including squares, rectangles, circles, round-tops, triangles and trapezoids.

Sizes: One dimension of a Heat Mirror Unit must be 72" or less; for a California Series Unit, one dimension must be 78 3/4" (2 meters) or less.

Glass Type: Available in annealed, heat-strengthened, tempered and laminated glass.

Glass Color: The inboard lite is typically clear and can be combined with clear, obscure, tinted, patterned, and reflective glass for the outboard lite.

Availability: A world-wide network of glass manufacturers, sales representatives and dealers provide Heat Mirror products. Please contact Southwall Technologies at 1-800-365-8794 for your nearest representative.

Visual Qualification: We recommend viewing a mock-up of the glass and its framing members before final specification.

Thermal Stress: We recommend heat-strengthening or tempering the outboard lite of a tinted unit within the Heat Mirror family when high thermal stress is likely. High thermal stress situations include circumstances where glass may be subjected to re-radiated solar heat (such as an inside corner), and irregular shadow patterns.

Spandrel Conditions: Spandrel glass, by definition, is opaque,. When using Heat Mirror family products with greater than 30 percent light transmittance, we recommend a contrasting or harmonizing spandrel glass. Consult with your manufacturer for specific spandrel glass conditions.

Structural-Glazing conditions: The use of a special silicone seal will be required in butt glazing. In the event that the project dictates the use of butt-glazed or structurally-glazed product, this must be disclosed and written into the specification before it goes to bid. Heat Mirror fabricators must be apprised of this condition in advance of quoting and fabricating. California Series laminated or insulating glass units may be structurally glazed. For additional information contact Southwall Technologies.

All Glazing Conditions: Good glazing practices as recommended by the Flat Glass Marketing Association (FGMA) and the Sealed Insulating Glass Manufacturing Association (SIGMA) should be followed.
