Advances in Glazing Materials for Windows



Until recently, clear glass was the primary glazing used in windows. Although glass is durable and allows a high percentage of sunlight to enter buildings, it has very little resistance to flow. During the past two decades, though, glazing technology has changed greatly.

into types of glazing have created a new generation of materials that offer improved window efficiency and performance for consumers. While this new generation of quickly gains acceptance in the marketplace, the research and development of even more efficient technologies continues.
