Viracon VUE-40 Coating

Viracon’s VUE-40 is a high-performance coating for insulated architectural glass that reflects both heat and light in order to lower peak electric and cooling costs. The coating comes in a blue-gray hue and is applied after heat-treating the glass. It can be applied to glass with thicknesses between 3mm and 10mm to reduce visual distortion, or with tinted substrates or silkscreen to improve solar performance and reduce glare. • www.viracon.com
