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.
