The photo illustrates both SGG Diamant and ordinary clear glass. The
glass on the top is ordinary transparent glass. Note the green
edge. The glass on bottom is SGG Diamant. Note the clearer edges as
compared to the greener edges of regular glass.
-
SGG Diamant transmits up to 92% of visible
light, depending on thickness.
-
SGG Diamant is a high quality clear float
glass with exceptional clarity and high light transmission.
Often called "low-iron" or "extra white" because it does not
have the dark green tint characteristic of ordinary clear
float glass when viewed from the edge.
-
SGG Diamant can be used single- or
double-glazed. Especially suitable in applications where
high visual clarity and minimal color distortion is required
such as display cabinets, shop fronts, in banks, or public
buildings. SGG Diamant is also used in solar panels. Ideal
in security glazing when thick laminated constructions are
required.

Features and Benefits:
-
Exceptionally high light transmittance gives
clear and undistorted vision and maximizes natural daylight.
It minimizes the barrier between the interior and exterior
environment and between items on display and the observer.
-
Prevents color distortion.
-
Optimizes solar gain in solar panels.
-
Can be laminated to provide safety, security
and added acoustic performance as well as to stop fading of
paintings, fabrics and furnishings by ultra-violet
radiation.
-
Can be tempered for safety performance and
to improve physical and thermal strength.
-
Can be curved to achieve exciting design
effects.
-
Can be incorporated in double-glazed units
to provide multi-functional glazing including solar control,
thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, safety and security
glazing.
NOTE:
This glass is not totally colorless and a light green tint will
become more apparent when viewed in larger pieces against a dark
background. |
