Tinted glass is a type of glass that has a colored tint or coating applied to it during the manufacturing process. Tinting can help to reduce the amount of sunlight and heat that passes through the glass, providing a range of benefits for different applications. There are several types of tinted glass available, including:
Heat-absorbing glass: This type of tinted glass has a dark color that helps to absorb heat from the sun, reducing the amount of heat that enters a building or vehicle.
Reflective glass: Reflective tinted glass has a metallic coating that reflects sunlight and heat, reducing the amount of heat that enters a building or vehicle. It is commonly used in commercial buildings and automobiles.
Low-emissivity (low-e) glass: Low-e tinted glass has a thin coating that reflects heat back into a room, reducing the amount of heat loss through the glass in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
Photochromic glass: Photochromic tinted glass changes its tint in response to sunlight or UV radiation, becoming darker in bright conditions and lighter in low light conditions.
