Heat Mirror Insulating Glass
Heat Mirror units are produced with a wide range of glass products including clear glass, tinted glass and low-e glass, taking advantage of the benefits of film based coatings and glass based technologies to create superior insulating performance, outstanding solar control, while at the same time blocking UV radiation, and reducing outside noise more effectively than double pane glass.
Because Heat Mirror units are available in a wide variety of films with diverse glass products, the performance needed for almost any project can be realized, making Heat Mirror an ideal choice for almost every application. For example, Heat Mirror film can be used with clear glass when high thermal insulation and high Solar Heat Gain is desired, such as for Passive Solar Heating. Alternatively, Heat Mirror film can be used with solar-reflective low-emmissivity glass when high thermal insulation and low Solar Heat Gain is desired. With an optional Krypton gas filling, single-film/dual-cavity Heat Mirror Insulating Glass can achieve a U-value of 0.10 (R-value of 10).

Heat Mirror® insulating glass incorporating Heat Mirror films coated by Southwall Technologies was the world's first commercially produced low-e glass. Since 1980, Heat Mirror insulating glass has been used around the world in structures ranging from single family homes to high profile projects for Fortune 500 companies. 
Southwall manufactures 12 different coated films which are suspended in the middle of an insulating glass unit to create multiple insulating cavities, creating industry leading performance. 
Heat Mirror technology is based upon a very thin coating which reflects heat back to its source. The 12 different films provide varying levels of visible light and solar control to meet the diverse requirements of the commercial market place. The product designations loosely represent the amount of light transmitted through the coated film. Hence, Heat Mirror 77 will transmit more light than a Heat Mirror 22 product.
