Guardian Glass announces the launch of its new triple silver low-E coated glass in North America, setting a new benchmark by combining a remarkably crisp, neutral aesthetic with outstanding energy performance.
SunGuard SNX 60+ glass has been engineered to maintain a uniform, neutral reflected colour—whether monolithic or laminated (also with embedded coating). Inside, the glass offers an impressively neutral transmitted colour, allowing abundant natural daylight to enter while helping to reveal the true colours of interior finishes and furnishings. To support clear views and transparent connections between indoors and outdoors, SunGuard SNX 60+ glass provides low external and internal light reflection—14 and 15 percent respectively.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, SunGuard SNX 60+ glass delivers industry-leading solar control and thermal insulation. The glass allows 60 percent visible light transmission while achieving an LSG ratio of 2.41, helping balance daylighting and heat gain. With a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.25 and a U-value of 0.29, SunGuard SNX 60+ can contribute to reduced cooling loads, enhanced thermal comfort, and helps to meet stringent energy codes.
Multiple options for design and performance
SunGuard SNX 60+ is available on a variety of glass substrates, including Guardian Clear standard float glass, Guardian CrystaClear™ and Guardian UltraClear™ low-iron glass to further enhance colour neutrality, as well as Gray, CrystalGray and Green tinted glass options for distinctive aesthetics. These substrate choices offer architects flexibility to tailor performance and appearance to their project requirements. The product is offered in 6-, 8-, 10- and 12-mm thicknesses, in super jumbo (130 by 240 inches), jumbo (130 by 204 inches) and split sizes, and requires heat-treatment by a Guardian Select™ Fabricator.
“SunGuard SNX 60+ is our most advanced triple silver low-E coated glass to date, offering unprecedented neutrality and consistency combined with leading energy performance,” said Suresh K. Devisetti, Vice President of Product, Sector Management and Innovation at Guardian Glass. “The technology behind this product opens up new possibilities for architectural expression and energy efficiency—not only in North America but across the regions where Guardian Glass operates.”
