Heat strengthened glass is not manufactured on float line. It is a separate process. Heat-strengthened glass continues to gain popularity and is often the choice of the design professional for vertical vision spandrel areas and for laminated sloped glazing.

Lower the solar factor, lower the solar energy heat gain. 28 Use of Glass in Buildings 8. 87) 9. U Value (W/sqm K): Rate of heat transfer through 1sqm of glass for a temperature differential of 1o K between the interior and exterior. The thermal insulation of glass is assessed by its U-value. Lower the U-value, the lower the heat transfer (loss or gain) through glass. 4 Total Heat Gain Total heat gain through glass is important especially in tropical countries as it has direct implication on cooling cost.
