DESCRIPTION
Transparent, colored glass is float glass, the mass of which has been colored during its production. Colored glass is made by adding small amounts of metal oxide to the glass composition. This affects the transmission of solar energy and modifies the color, without changing the basic properties of the glass. The only difference is the reduction in light transmission that comes with the tinting of the glazing.
Colored glazing (tinted, bronze, green, blue) reduces the overall solar energy transmittance, because it has an increased energy absorption capacity. This means that special care is needed when using them, because if there are adverse environmental factors, then peripheral grinding (or even heat treatment) becomes necessary in order to avoid undesirable auto-refractive phenomena.
