Tinted Glass

In Plymouth and the Southwest, tinted glass is changing both commercial and residential spaces. Union Glass is a top provider of this specialised glass that not only helps with the design aspect of buildings, but also contributes to their energy efficiency. Read on to find out everything you need to know about tinted glass.

What is Body Tinted Glass?

Body tinted glass is simply put, glass with a tint of colour in it. Its unique colour is achieved through the infusion of metal oxides into the glass during manufacturing. This process results in a range of different hues, including bronze, blue, grey, and green. This leaves the glass with a unique and distinctive appearance. The benefits, however, extend far beyond the aesthetics.

Advantages of Body Tinted Glass

One of the key features of tinted glass is its ability to reduce solar heat emission. This characteristic is particularly useful in Plymouth and the Southwest – especially during summer, as air conditioning is less common and expensive.  Here are some key benefits of using tinted glass:

  • Solar heat reduction – By filtering and reducing the amount of sunlight that gets through the glass, tinted glass helps maintain a cooler inside temperature during sunny days.
  • UV Protection- Tinted glass can protect inside furniture from fading as it can block harmful and damaging UV rays. This can also reduce the risk of skin damage.
  • Increased Privacy- The darker hues of tinted glass provide an added level of privacy. This makes it a perfect choice for anyone seeking some more privacy, without forfeiting the niceties of natural light.
