Restaurants

Restaurants have unique glazing requirements, which can be broken into three primary categories: energy efficiency, comfort, and light & view.

Heat Mirror units offer superior energy efficiency with U-values and SHGC values as low as 0.10.  In warm climates, monolithic XIR® is often used because it combines outstanding solar control with low reflectance and high light transmission.

Project:  Wendy's Restaurant Location:  Sunnyvale, CA                               Architectural Firm: Group Four Architects Solution:  Heat Mirror 55/ Bronze

Superior thermal performance means glass that is warm enough to sit by in the extreme climates. Patrons can site near glass with confidence that they will both enjoy the view and be comfortable.  In hot climates, Heat Mirror's solar control performance not only reduces cooling loads, cutting heat gain by 50% or more compared with clear glass, but it also helps maintain comfort levels near windows. Because Heat Mirror selectively blocks heat while allowing appropriate light levels, patrons will be comfortable and njoy the view while they dine.  And importantly, comfortable patrons seated adjacent to Heat Mirror windows year-round will signal the establishment's popularity.

Heat Mirror provides the design flexibility to meet client requirements, and delivers the performance needed to provide a comfortable, efficient dining environment, making it the natural choice for restaurant glazing.
