Soft Coating Glass

Soft Coated Reflective Glass, also known as offline Low-E glass or sputtered Low-E glass, is an advanced energy-efficient glazing product designed to improve thermal performance, reduce solar heat gain, and enhance visual comfort in architectural applications. Unlike hard-coated glass, soft coating is applied after the float glass production process through magnetron sputtering technology under vacuum conditions. This process deposits a precise layer of metallic oxides onto the glass surface, providing excellent solar control, high light transmission, and improved energy efficiency for modern building facades and windows.

FAQ

Soft Coating Glass, also called offline Low-E or sputtered Low-E glass, is an energy-efficient architectural glass. Produced via vacuum magnetron sputtering (post-glass manufacturing), it features a precise metallic oxide layer. With low U-value (5.02-6.14 W/㎡.K) and SHGC (0.31-0.50), it boosts thermal insulation, reduces solar heat gain, and blocks harmful UV rays. Available in colors like blue/bronze/grey (3-12mm thickness, 150×150mm to 12000×3600mm sizes), it suits commercial facades, residential windows, and decorative projects, aligning with green building standards.

Commercial Buildings

Windows, curtain walls, and facades of office buildings, malls, and hotels:Reduces heat gain, enhances energy efficiency, and provides a reflective, modern appearance. Minimizes HVAC energy consumption and improves indoor comfort.

Residential Properties

Windows, balcony enclosures, and skylights in homes and apartments:Maintains comfortable indoor temperatures by reducing heat transfer and glare.Enhances thermal insulation, resulting in lower heating and cooling costs.

Modern Architectural Facades

Facades for contemporary architectural designs:Provides a sleek, mirror-like aesthetic with high energy efficiency.Enhances building design while controlling solar energy and glare.

Privacy and Decorative Applications

Tinted or reflective glass for enhanced privacy in offices, hotels, or homes:Reflective coatings provide one-way visibility and a decorative, modern look.Balances privacy needs with energy efficiency.

Surface Treatments

Edge Treatment: Flat edge, rounded edge, or beveled edge

There are three distinct edge treatment options available. You can choose a flat edge, which offers a clean, straightforward look. A rounded edge provides a softer, more ergonomic feel, reducing the risk of sharp corners. Alternatively, a beveled edge adds a touch of sophistication with its angled cut.

Drilling: Available for mounting or installation purposes

Drilling services are provided, specifically designed to serve mounting or installation needs. This ensures that the product can be easily and securely affixed in the desired location.

Sandblasting: Can be sandblasted for decorative finishes

Sandblasting is an option for those seeking decorative finishes. It can transform the surface, creating unique patterns and textures that enhance the aesthetic appeal.

Brushed Finish: Available for a matte surface texture

If you prefer a matte surface texture, a brushed finish is available. This finish gives the material a smooth, non - reflective appearance, adding a certain elegance.

Coatings: UV protection, anti-reflective, or other coatings available upon request

For various protective and functional requirements, different coatings can be provided. UV protection coatings safeguard the material from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays. Anti - reflective coatings are great for applications where glare needs to be minimized. Additionally, other coatings can be made available upon request, tailored to specific project needs.

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.

What’s the difference between Soft Coating Glass and hard-coated glass?

Soft Coating Glass uses post-manufacturing vacuum sputtering, enabling better optical properties and complex coatings. Hard-coated glass is coated during glass production, with inferior thermal/light control compared to soft coating.

Can Soft Coating Glass be customized in size?

Yes. Its standard size range is 150mm×150mm (minimum) to 12000mm×3600mm (maximum), and custom sizes are available to meet specific project needs.

How long is the delivery time for Soft Coating Glass?

The standard delivery time is 7 days, ensuring quick supply for urgent architectural projects.

Does Soft Coating Glass protect against UV radiation?

Absolutely. It blocks a significant portion of harmful UV rays, preventing interior furniture, flooring, and decor from fading or degrading over time.

What surface treatments are available for Soft Coating Glass?

Common options include flat/rounded/beveled edges, drilling (for installation), sandblasting (decorative matte finish), brushed finish, and additional UV/anti-reflective coatings on request.
