This sophisticated glass solution effectively manages solar heat gain and thermal transfer, creating more comfortable interior environments while significantly reducing energy consumption.

All Glass specializes in providing premium thermal glass solutions engineered to meet the specific performance requirements of diverse architectural applications. Our comprehensive product range includes various coating technologies, tint options, and construction methods to address different climate challenges and design objectives. Each thermal glass solution is carefully selected and configured to optimize the balance between energy performance, visual appearance, and natural light transmission.

Why Choose Our Thermal Glass Systems

Our thermal glass Systems deliver exceptional value through their ability to simultaneously address multiple performance challenges. Beyond the immediate comfort improvements and glare reduction benefits, these advanced glazing systems significantly reduce heating and cooling energy demands, leading to substantial utility cost savings and reduced environmental impact. With a variety of performance levels and aesthetic options available, we can tailor your glazing solution to achieve the perfect balance of efficiency, comfort, and visual appeal.

Low-E Technology

Microscopic metallic coatings selectively filter electromagnetic radiation, allowing visible light to pass through while reflecting infrared heat energy—keeping heat inside during winter and outside during summer.

Thermal Insulation

When incorporated into insulated glass units, thermal glass systems dramatically reduces heat transfer, achieving U-values as low as 1.0 W/(m²·K) compared to 5.8 W/(m²·K) for single glazing.

Solar Control

Advanced coating formulations provide precise management of solar heat gain, optimizing energy performance by season and façade orientation while reducing glare and UV exposure.

Neutral Aesthetics

Despite their high-performance characteristics, modern thermal glass products maintain excellent color neutrality and natural appearance, avoiding the highly reflective or tinted look of older solar control glazing.

Production Machinery for Thermal Glass Systems

Our Thermal Glass Systems are manufactured using state-of-the-art equipment that ensures exceptional performance, precision, and quality. The cornerstone of our production process is our advanced IGU assembly lines—Forel and Bystronic—which enable the precise construction of insulated glass units incorporating low-emissivity coatings and specialized spacer systems essential for superior thermal performance. The manufacturing begins with our high-precision cutting lines—Bottero 363 evo, Intermac LM 37, and Intermac combyline—which dimension glass sheets with exacting accuracy to ensure perfect fit and alignment within the completed thermal units. For applications requiring tempered glass components, our North Glass tempering furnace processes glass while preserving the integrity of thermal coatings. These sophisticated machines work in concert to create thermal glass systems with precise spacer application, controlled gas filling, and superior edge sealing that ensures optimal thermal performance and long-term durability. Our integrated quality control systems verify coating performance, gas fill percentages, and seal integrity throughout the production process, delivering thermal glass systems that consistently exceed industry standards for energy efficiency, comfort enhancement, and environmental sustainability.

Planning & Strategy

Our approach to thermal glass projects begins with a thorough assessment of performance requirements and architectural context. We consider factors such as building orientation, climate zone, energy code requirements, and occupant comfort needs to recommend the optimal glass specification. This consultative process ensures that your glazing solution delivers maximum performance value while respecting aesthetic and budget considerations.

Our work benefits

Investing in quality thermal glass from All Glass delivers substantial benefits throughout your building’s lifecycle. The immediate improvement in comfort through reduced temperature fluctuations, elimination of cold spots near windows, and minimized glare creates more productive and enjoyable interior spaces. Energy savings typically provide a return on investment within 3-7 years, while continuing to deliver value for decades thereafter. The reduction in UV transmission protects interior furnishings and finishes from fading, extending their service life and maintaining their appearance. Additionally, upgraded glazing often increases property value and marketability by improving energy ratings and comfort levels.

Frequently asked questions

Understanding the options and benefits of thermal glass helps clients make informed decisions. Here are answers to common questions about our thermal glass solutions.

How exactly does thermal glass work to improve energy efficiency?

Thermal glass utilizes microscopically thin, transparent metallic coatings applied to the glass surface to selectively control different types of electromagnetic radiation. These low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings allow visible light to pass through while reflecting long-wave infrared radiation (heat). In winter, this means heat from inside the building is reflected back into the space rather than escaping through the glass. In summer, solar infrared energy is reflected away before it enters the building. When combined with insulated glass unit construction, this technology dramatically reduces heat transfer in both directions, maintaining more stable interior temperatures with less energy consumption. Different coating formulations can be optimized for heating-dominated or cooling-dominated climates, or balanced for mixed conditions.

What's the difference between the various types of thermal glass you offer?

We offer several categories of thermal glass to address different performance priorities. “Solar control” thermal glass emphasizes blocking solar heat gain while maintaining high visible light transmission—ideal for facades with high sun exposure or cooling-dominated climates. “Thermal insulation” glass maximizes heat retention and is optimized for heating-dominated climates. “Balanced performance” glass provides moderate solar control with excellent thermal insulation for mixed climates. Within each category, we offer multiple performance levels with different visible light transmission percentages, solar heat gain coefficients, and insulation values. Our technical team can help you select the optimal product based on your specific building requirements, orientation, and energy goals.

Can thermal glass be combined with other glass features like sound insulation or safety?

Absolutely. Modern thermal glass can be integrated with numerous additional functionalities to create multi-performance glazing solutions. We regularly combine thermal coatings with laminated safety glass, tempered glass, acoustic enhancement interlayers, self-cleaning surfaces, and decorative elements. These multi-function units allow you to address multiple performance requirements simultaneously without compromising thermal efficiency. During our consultation process, we can help you navigate these options to create the optimal solution for your specific application, ensuring that all performance aspects work together harmoniously.
