💡 Pro Tips for Buying Vitro Coated Glass
📏 Measure Twice, Cut Once
Always order glass in 0.5mm increments to avoid supply issues. Standard thicknesses are 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 19mm. Anything between these sizes requires custom production with longer lead times.
🔍 Demand Test Reports
Always request a third-party test report (SGS, Intertek, or TÜV) confirming the optical and thermal properties. Our standard reports include:
- Visible Light Transmittance (Tvis)
- Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)
- U-Value
- Emissivity (ε)
- Durability testing per ASTM C1376
🌡️ Consider Climate Zones
Coating selection depends on your region:
- Hot climates (Middle East, South Asia): High-performance solar control coatings
- Cold climates (Northern Europe, Canada): Low-E coatings with high visible light transmittance
- Temperate climates (US, EU): Balanced low-E/solar control options
⚠️ Common Pitfalls to Avoid:
- ❌ Buying based solely on price: Cheaper coated glass often means lower durability (delamination within 2-3 years). Our coatings have 10-year warranties.
- ❌ Ignoring edge work: Poor edge finishing causes stress points that lead to breakage. We offer seamed, arrised, or polished edges.
- ❌ Skipping UV testing: Some coatings yellow or degrade under UV exposure. Our products pass 1000-hour accelerated weathering tests.
- ❌ Not checking gas fill: For insulated units, argon gas fill improves U-value by 15-20% vs. air. Always specify this for energy-efficient applications.
