päikesekaitseklaasi

Päikesekaitseklaas, also known as solar control glass, is a type of glass designed to reduce the amount of solar heat and visible light that passes through it. This is typically achieved through special coatings applied to the glass surface or by incorporating metallic particles within the glass itself. The primary function of päikesekaitseklaas is to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of buildings.

By reflecting or absorbing a significant portion of the sun's infrared and ultraviolet radiation, päikesekaitseklaas helps to keep interiors cooler during hot weather. This reduces the need for air conditioning, leading to lower energy consumption and associated costs. In colder months, some types of päikesekaitseklaas are designed to allow solar heat to enter, contributing to passive heating.

The appearance of päikesekaitseklaas can vary, often having a slight tint or reflective quality depending on the type of coating used. This can influence the aesthetic of a building's facade. Different applications and climates may require different types of päikesekaitseklaas, with varying levels of solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and visible light transmission (VLT). Its use is common in both residential and commercial buildings, particularly in areas with intense sunlight.
