| Sun and Energy Control |

When transmitted through windows, the sun's UV rays can damage interior fabrics, furnishings and artworks. Laminated glass can screen substantially all UV radiation, thus protecting interiors from these damaging rays.
 In addition, sunlight can cause heat gain within a structure, which can impact heating and air conditioning costs. Laminated glass can help manage the amount of heat gain a building experiences from sunlight, and improve occupant comfort. Tailoring the solar performance of laminated glass to local climate conditions and exposures can often produce significant long-term energy savings.
