HEAT MIRROR™

WHAT IS HEAT MIRROR™?

Heat Mirror insulating glass is used in commercial and residential applications from the Arctic Circle to the tropics.

Heat Mirror films are suspended in the center of sealed insulating glass units to create superior product performance. When demanding site conditions, challenging environmental conditions, or unique designs create premium performance requirements, Heat Mirror insulating glass is the product of choice. Heat Mirror has been specified by architects for almost twenty years to reduce HVAC loads and improve operating efficiency. The world’s first low­emissivity product, Heat Mirror’s growing family of products have kept it at the forefront of “Green” design revolution.

RESIDENTIAL INSULATING GLASS PRODUCTS

Heat Mirror products have expanded the boundaries of performance available to architects, designers, builders, and homeowners. Whether the design requirement is superior insulation, protection from solar heat gain, or balanced year-round protection in climates with four distinct seasons, there is a Heat Mirror product for the job. With center of glass R-values exceeding 3.7 and solar shading performance ranging from a shading coefficient of 0.66 in clear Heat Mirror 88 to 0.23 in Heat Mirror 44 with gray glass, the right balance of insulation, shading and aesthetics can easily be attained with Heat Mirror insulating glass.

COMMERCIAL INSULATING GLASS PRODUCTS

The choice of the right glazing is one of the most important and far-reaching decisions in the architectural design process. Glass impacts design aesthetics, building efficiency, occupant comfort, and employee productivity.

The Heat Mirror family of wavelength-selective products offers the solution to all critical glazing challenges. These solutions provide unparalleled flexibility to address building requirements including the use of multiple products to tune a building by meeting area-specific design requirements.

Use Heat Mirror products with high product numbers for applications needing high light transmittance, low reflectance, and moderate solar control. Use mid-range product numbers for products needing more solar protection, and applications needing a moderate level of reflectance. For maximum solar protection, use the lowest numbered products, which have more reflectance and superior solar heat rejection.

In applications where a highly reflective solar control product is desired, select “HPR” products (High Performance Reflective). These products combine highly reflective aesthetics on the exterior surface with a less-reflective appearance on the room side. All HPR products offer the performance advantages of Heat Mirror suspended films.
