Extra clear glass SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS VISION sgg DIAMANT is a unique colourless ("extra-white") float glass with a very low iron oxide content. As a result the glass has a very high light transmittance level and is significantly less green in appearance when compared to ordinary float glass. It is therefore the only clear glass which allows a natural and true reproduction of white and pastel colours when enamelled, lacquered or screen printed. Applications Wide range of applications sgg DIAMANT is suited for numerous applications that require high transparency, clear aesthetics and optical brilliance. Interior...

Improving Window Energy Ratings The overall Window Energy Rating performance of a window is dependent on the combined effect of the frame and glazing components and the air-tightness of the finished window. Ratings may be improved by decreasing thermal losses and/or by increasing solar gains. Simulations have proved that thanks to its increased solar gain value, using a low-iron glass such as sgg DIAMANT can improve the resulting energy index of a window by up to 6kwh/m2/year.1 *when used on the outer pane of a double-glazed unit compared with float glass of the same thickness and a standard...
