Smart Glass 30 - Alpha I & Omega I, Single-Pane Roof Glass

The first product in our line of high-performance glass products is a single pane glass, which goes by the name SmartGlass 30.  This new product has 30% lower solar transmission than ordinary clear single pane glass (and 30% less UV transmission).  What this means is that a competitor’s room equipped with clear single pane glass will heat up 30% faster than a C-Thru room

SmartGlass 30 has the same high optical clarity and same visual appearance as regular single pane glass; it’s only on a very, very close inspection that one might notice a very, very subtle green hue.   SmartGlass 30 is so effective that it even outperforms single pane bronze glass by 8%, and without the “dirty” look of ordinary bronze tinted glass.  Clear single pane glass will still be our low cost standard, but SmartGlass 30 will be available for a modest upcharge.
