Combined in a one inch insulating glass unit igu with clear glass solarcool glasses offer an expansive palette of appearance and performance options with solar heat gain coefficients. The glass has improved performance and higher exterior visible reflectivity with a metallic sheen when installed with the coating on the first surface. The coating reduces energy consumption by reflecting solar heat gain and for improved performance it may be paired with insulated glass units and low e glass. Clear glass transmits as much as 90 of the solar energy in all the regions and is ineffective at controlling glare or solar heat gain.
