Glass is one of the most versatile and efficient products available. Its translucent quality has made it an effective material for light transmissions and building supplies. Glass comes in a variety of colors and can elevate the esthetic of nearly any architectural design. Color technology plays a vital role in maintaining the color quality needed to achieve each design concept while still providing the light transmission needed for functionality. However, color technology extends farther than just color matching and clarity. New technology uses energy efficient coatings on glass materials to lower the energy cost of a building and provide a new, eco-friendly energy source.
Many architectural design elements utilize glass for its esthetic appeal and functionality. New technology adds energy efficiency to the list of elements that make glass a desirable building material product.
