SunGuard™ products are advanced glass solutions designed to offer various levels of solar control, light transmission, and aesthetic options, tailored to a wide range of architectural applications. These products empower architectural innovation and creativity while helping to enhance building performance with their low-E coatings. SunGuard glass is valued for its ability to combine neutral aesthetics with low solar heat gain, making it a trusted option for modern buildings.
Excess heat and glare caused by the solar energy from the sun can be a major source of discomfort in some indoor environments, especially those with glass roofs, and large areas of glazing. Solar control glass is ideal for helping to maximize natural daylight while reflecting a high proportion of solar radiation away from the glass, contributing to keeping the indoor space bright but cool.
SunGuard has demonstrated that innovation never gets old, making history with bold strides in solar and thermal performance, energy efficiency and comfort, aesthetic options and expert support for our partners in architecture, fabrication and glazing.
The SunGuard range includes a variety of products, each designed to offer a different combination of performance and aesthetic characteristics to help meet diverse project requirements.
People play an important role in shaping the SunGuard brand. In 2007, Guardian Glass launched the Guardian Select™ Fabricator program to recognize and support partners who meet rigorous standards when tempering, drilling, bending, and preparing commercial glass for installation.
