REACH BUILDING supplies high-performance Hard Coating Glass, made via a pyrolytic process during float glass production. Its chemically bonded coating ensures durability, scratch resistance, and excellent solar control—reducing heat gain for energy efficiency. Available in 4-12mm thickness (customizable), with 15%-30% optical transmittance and max size 12000mm×3600mm, it suits facades, curtain walls, and interior decor. It can be cut, tempered, or laminated without coating damage, blending modern aesthetics with practicality.
1. Durable Pyrolytic Coating
The metal oxide coating is chemically bonded to the glass surface during the float glass production process. This durable hard coating provides good resistance to scratching, handling, routine cleaning, and environmental exposure, supporting reliable long-term performance.
2. Solar-Control Performance
Hard Coating Glass helps control incoming solar radiation and reduce solar heat gain through the glazing. When selected as part of an appropriate glazing system, it can contribute to improved indoor comfort and reduced cooling demand in warm and sunny climates.
3. Architectural Appearance
Available in different colors and levels of reflectivity, Hard Coating Glass can support a wide range of architectural design requirements. Its coated surface provides a clean, modern appearance for facades, curtain walls, windows, and commercial buildings.
4. Flexible Glass Processing
Hard Coating Glass can be cut, tempered, laminated, or incorporated into insulated glass units (IGUs), subject to the relevant processing specifications. This provides flexibility for different architectural glazing configurations and project requirements.
5. Daylight and Visual Privacy
The coated surface helps control visible light while still allowing natural daylight into the building. Depending on the coating type and lighting conditions, it may also provide a degree of daytime visual privacy when exterior illumination is brighter than the interior.
Buying Guide
Is Hard Coating Glass Right for Your Project?
Hard Coating Glass is most suitable when a project needs a combination of solar control, reflective appearance, coating durability, and processing flexibility. Instead of selecting the glass by thickness alone, start with the performance your project requires.
When Solar Control Is a Priority
For facades and curtain walls exposed to strong sunlight, Hard Coating Glass can help reflect solar radiation and reduce heat gain. Its solar control performance makes it particularly relevant for buildings in hot or highly sun-exposed environments.
When the Glass Needs a Durable Coating
If the glass will be exposed to demanding conditions or requires handling and further fabrication, the hard pyrolytic coating is an important consideration. Because the coating is chemically bonded to the glass surface, it provides greater scratch resistance and environmental durability than a more delicate surface coating.
When You Need a Reflective Architectural Appearance
For projects where the facade needs a modern reflective effect, the glass can provide both visual aesthetics and external light reflection. Different colors and reflectivity levels can be considered according to the desired architectural appearance.
When Further Glass Processing Is Required
Hard Coating Glass can be cut, tempered, or laminated while maintaining the coating's reflective and durable properties. If the final product requires additional processing, the complete processing route should be confirmed before production.
When One Glass Type Is Not Enough
For projects with more demanding thermal or solar-control requirements, Hard Coating Glass can be used as part of a more complex glazing configuration. It can be combined with other functional glass types or incorporated into insulated glass systems according to the project's performance targets.
When Privacy Matters Without Blocking Daylight Completely
The reflective surface can reduce visibility from the outside while still allowing natural daylight into the building. This can be considered for commercial facades and other architectural applications where a balance between exterior appearance, daylight, and visual privacy is required.
Before Finalizing the Specification
Confirm the required reflectivity, solar performance, glass thickness, panel size, color, and downstream processing together. The final configuration should be matched to the building orientation, facade design, climate, and intended glazing system.
