Coated tinted glass is a high-performance architectural glass that combines the solar control and aesthetic qualities of tinted glass with the functional benefits of surface coatings. Designed for modern facade and curtain wall glazing, it helps improve energy efficiency, indoor thermal comfort, glare control, and exterior appearance.
With its combination of solar control, thermal insulation, and contemporary aesthetics, coated tinted glass is well suited for commercial and residential building applications, including façades, windows, curtain walls, and other energy-efficient glazing systems. It provides architects and designers with a practical solution for balancing visual appeal, building performance, and long-term sustainability.

Hangzhou Reach Building’s Coating Tinted Glass merges tinted glass’s solar control/aesthetics with functional coatings for energy efficiency. Made via adding metal oxides (float process) and applying reflective/Low-E coatings (on-line/off-line), it blocks UV rays, reduces glare/heat, and boosts thermal comfort. Available in 3-12mm thickness, colors like blue/bronze/grey, and custom sizes (150×150mm to 12000×3600mm). Ideal for commercial/residential facades, windows, and curtain walls. With 20+ years in building materials, we deliver quality in 7 days.

1. Tinted Base Glass
Manufactured by adding metal oxides during the float glass process, the tinted base glass is available in gray, bronze, green, blue, and other color options. It enhances architectural appearance while improving solar absorption, reducing glare and limiting heat transmission. These properties make it suitable for facade and curtain wall glazing, windows, doors, and other exterior architectural applications.
2. Functional Coatings
Reflective coatings enhance solar control by reflecting part of the incoming heat and light, helping reduce cooling loads in commercial building glazing applications. Low-E coatings improve thermal insulation by minimizing heat transfer through the glass, helping maintain more stable indoor temperatures. Coatings can be applied on-line using pyrolytic technology for greater durability or off-line using sputter coating technology for enhanced optical and thermal performance.
3. Durability
On-line coated tinted glass offers high surface durability and scratch resistance, making it suitable for exposed architectural glazing and exterior applications. Off-line coatings generally require additional protection and are commonly incorporated into insulated glass units for curtain walls, windows, and energy-efficient building envelopes.
4. Performance
Coated tinted glass balances solar heat gain, visible light transmission, and glare reduction to support energy-efficient building design. It also helps block harmful UV radiation, reducing fading and deterioration of interior furnishings, flooring, and decorative materials.
5. Customization
Available in multiple thicknesses, tint colors, coating types, sizes, and performance configurations, coated tinted glass can be customized for different architectural glazing applications, including façades, curtain walls, windows, commercial buildings, and residential projects.

Surface Treatments
Edge Treatment: Flat edge, rounded edge, or beveled edge
There are three main types of edge treatments available. Firstly, the flat edge, which provides a straightforward, unadorned finish. Secondly, the rounded edge, offering a softer, more comfortable feel and a smoother appearance. Thirdly, the beveled edge, adding a touch of elegance with its angled cut.
Drilling: Available for mounting or installation purposes
Drilling services are provided. This is especially useful for mounting or installation purposes, enabling the seamless integration of the item into various setups.
Sandblasting: Can be sandblasted for decorative finishes
Sandblasting is an option. It can be utilized to create decorative finishes, adding a unique and visually appealing aspect to the product.
Brushed Finish: Available for a matte surface texture
A brushed finish is available. This results in a matte surface texture, giving the item a sophisticated and understated look.
Coatings: UV protection, anti-reflective, or other coatings available upon request
A range of coatings can be provided. UV protection coatings safeguard against harmful ultraviolet rays, anti - reflective coatings enhance visibility by reducing glare. Additionally, other coatings can be arranged upon request to meet specific requirements.
Packaging: used wooden boxes or cases, the cases should be easy loading, unloading and transportation. Each case needs to be packed with stuff of the same thickness and size.
Q: Differences between coated tinted glass and hard coated in-line glass and soft coated off-line glass?
A:
Feature | Coated Tinted Glass | Hard-Coated In-Line | |
Glass | Soft-Coated Off-Line Glass | ||
Manufacturing Process | Tinted glass + coating | Coated during float glass production | Coated in a vacuum chamber post-production |
Durability | Moderate to high | Very durable | Less durable, requires protection |
Thermal Performance | Moderate | Moderate | High-performance (superior U-value) |
Solar Control | Moderate | Moderate | Superior |
Scratch Resistance | Depends on coating type | High | Low |
Handling | Easy to moderate | Easy | Requires careful handling, often in IGUs |
Appearance | Tinted with reflective options | Slightly reflective | Can be clear or highly reflective |
Q: What’s the difference between Coating Tinted Glass, hard-coated in-line glass, and soft-coated off-line glass?
A: Coating Tinted Glass combines tinted base + coating (moderate durability/thermal performance); hard-coated glass is coated during float production (very durable, easy handling); soft-coated glass is vacuum-coated post-production (superior solar control but needs protection, often for IGUs).
Q: Which building scenarios is Coating Tinted Glass suitable for?
A: It fits commercial buildings (offices, malls), residential spaces (windows, skylights), high-rise facades/curtain walls, and public/institutional buildings (hospitals, airports), plus industrial uses like museums.
Q: Can Coating Tinted Glass be customized in size and color?
A: Yes. Sizes range from 150×150mm (min) to 12000×3600mm (max) (custom available); colors include blue, bronze, clear, green, grey, pink, etc.
