Guardian Industries’ product range now includes SunGuard HD Diamond 66 double-sided, anti-reflective glass for architectural applications. These two products highlight the broad range of applications for Guardian glass and demonstrate the diversity of the company’s offerings.

ADVANCED ARCHITECTURAL GLASS

SunGuard HD Diamond 66 is a new advanced archi-tectural glass with a visible light transmission of 66 per

cent and an outside light reflection of 32 per cent. This high reflection makes any building shine bright as a diamond.“We see a trend in the in-dustry for high reflecti-

ve glass combined with a high light transmission,” said Volodymyr Shku-renko, Segment Leader at Guardian Europe. “We have successfully launched Sun-Guard HD Silver 70 and

we now expand our range by adding SunGuard HD Diamond 66 to our High Durable portfolio.” Guardian SunGuard HD Diamond 66 is an ideal glass for architects looking to crea-te a comfortable building with a modern bright façade and is a great fit for architectural projects across Europe. This coating can be produced on ExtraClear or on UltraClear float glass which allow for a very high transparency and colour neutrality when com-pared to standard float glass. Together with SunGuard HD Silver 70, architects have

a bright architectural glass combined with high light transmission.SunGuard High Durable products represent a new standard of coated solar control glass. Thanks to the durable coating applied using a sputtering process, these products are very easy to process and can be used monolithically on specific applications. The SunGuard HD family is ideal for use in double skin facades, spandrels, ventilated glazing, balco-nies and louvre windows.

DOUBLE-SIDED ANTI-REFLECTIVE GLAZINGAt the other end of the re-flectivity spectrum, Guardian ClarityTM is double-sided an-ti-reflective glazing especially developed for shop fronts and viewing areas. With visible light transmission as high as 97 per cent, it offers world-class optical proper-ties and incredible aesthetic appeal to create a ‘wow’ effect for customers. Guardian Clarity is the ideal glass for any application whe-re excessive glare or reflec-tion creates an obstruction.

Whether it is a shop window which loses impact due to di-stracting reflections, a viewing area which loses visual accuracy due to distracting glare, or a restaurant with a breath-taking view which is no lon-ger visible at night, Clarity anti-reflective glass provides the perfect solution.“Glass protects against the environment, but in areas where optimal visibility is im-portant, such as shop fronts or restaurants with specta-cular views, glare and re-flection can spoil the vision,”

said Shkurenko. “Guardian Clarity solves this issue and provides a viewing experien-ce through the glass that is virtually distortion-free.”Clarity is part of Guardian’s architectural glass portfo-lio, while SunGuard HD Diamond 66 is part of the Guardian SunGuard High Durable product family.
