April 22, 2021 In observance of Earth Day, Vitro Architectural Glass is recognizing its growth as an environmentally-focused business and ongoing commitment to meeting the standards of sustainability certification programs through its introduction of new, sustainable products. Vitro Glass’s commitment to sustainability prioritizes responsible manufacturing processes and large-scale energy reduction using energy-efficient low- emissivity glasses. Vitro’s family of Solarban solar control low-e glass products and other glasses by Vitro have been installed on hundreds of LEED-certified buildings, including at least three of the world’s certified net-zero “living” buildings.

Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) announced that it has launched Solarban® R77 solar control, low-emissivity (low-e) glass, which unites a crisp, neutrally reflective silver-blue aesthetic with building-code-friendly solar performance. The glass was designed by Vitro Glass to fill a specific niche in the company’s portfolio, offering architects a pleasant exterior-transmitted color that is more subtle than that of Solarban R100 glass, yet more pronounced than the quietly reflective appearance of Solarban 67 glass. Nathan McKenna, director, marketing and innovation, Vitro Architectural Glass said Solarban R77 glass fulfills demand for a product that captures the visual character of the sky and ambient environment while enabling specifiers to meet increasingly stringent building code mandates.
