Rich-blue Pacifica® glass is part of Vitro Architectural Glass's (formerly PPG Glass's) collection of nautically inspired tints and can be combined with reflective Solarcool® or subtly reflective color-enriched Vistacool® coatings. Combined with Solarban® 70XL solar control low-e glass in a 1-inch insulating glass unit (IGU), Pacifica® glass can reach a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.18 with a visible light transmittance (VLT) of 30 percent, which produces a light-to-solar gain (LSG) ratio of 1.63.
Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass), North America's largest glass producer, is exclusively dedicated to glass innovation and fueled by the same people, plants and products that made PPG Glass one of the industry's most respected and reliable commercial glass manufacturers. According to a recent study conducted by Dodge Data Analytics, Vitro Glass products are the most commonly specified brand of commercial glass in the industry.
Now operating under a global company exclusively committed to growing its core glass business, architects can expect accelerated research and development efforts in addition to greater capacity in years to come.
