SKYCOOL is available in 14 standard color coatings that
fit well in innovative design concepts. |
 |
Impressive mirror effect |
|
Street scenes are reflected on the exterior of the building,
giving the building special character and making it "one" with the
landscape and the season. |
 |
Interior comfort |
|
Suppression of visible light rays and shielding against
glare create comfortable interior space. |
 |
Energy saving |
|
The shielding ability of SKYCOOL against solar radiation
is, depending on the grade, from two to four times superior to that
of transparent float glass. This unique performance advantage can
be combined strategically with a building's architectural design to
maximize investment efficiency and to lower the operating costs of
air-conditioning units. |
 |
Privacy |
|
People outside the building cannot see in because the
coated glass surface reflects visible light rays, limiting transparency. |
|
 |
 |
The metal-coated surface should face the interior. This
will maintain the mirror-like reflectance of the glass over a longer
period of time. |
 |
Since the coated surface faces the interior, changes
in the tone or shade of the glass may occur, depending on glass thickness. |
 |
Although SKYCOOL is manufactured under conditions of
strict quality control, the surface is not completely flat. Reflected
images can sometimes appear distorted. |
 |
The coated surface of the glass is very reflective.
Reflected light can be a nuisance to persons in adjacent buildings
and to persons driving by. Reflection analysis should be performed
in advance. |
 |
"Pinholes" may be evident on the metal-coated surface.
These occur during the manufacturing process and cannot be completely
eliminated. |
 |
The reflective metal coating can peel if the surface
is stained or soiled. Protect the glass from solvents containing mortar. |
 |
Store products in a dry place, protected from exposure
to direct sunlight and rainwater. |
 |
Do not use rust forming sashes, as rust will damage
the reflective coating. |
 |
Three water drain holes (5 mm in diameter) must be provided
at the sash bottom for draining rainwater or condensation quickly. |
 |
These products absorb a large amount of solar energy
and are affected by thermal stress. Calculate thermal values and follow
standard glazing procedure. |
 |
The glass surface should not be exposed to direct currents
of air from air-conditioning units. |
 |
The product demonstrates high reflectance of visible
light, and images on the glass have greater deflection than those
on float glass or heat absorbing glass. |
 |
Mask all glass surfaces to protect the reflective metal
coating from welding sparks and mortar. |
 |
Use only cleanly-cut glass units. Damaged glass edges
can lead to thermal cracking. |
|
 |
Provide a primer coating when using an elastic sealing
compound. |
|
 |
Prior to coating with a primer, mask all surfaces of
the reflective metal coating to protect them. |
|
 |
Any spilled primer coating should be immediately removed
with toluene or a suitable solvent, then the area should be thoroughly
rinsed with fresh water. |
|
 |
The reflective metal coating is protected against stains
and scratches by a protective film. Face the protective surface toward
the interior. |
|
 |
On completion of installation, remove the protective
film and clean the coated surface with fresh water. |
|
 |
When installing SKYCOOL on spandrel walls, clean the
inside of the spandrel panel using a vacuum cleaner. |
|
 |
Use a sander of #120 mesh or above to smooth cut edges. |
|
 |
The glass unit should not directly contact with the
sash frames. |
|
|
 |
 |
Use a superior elastic sealing compound (polysulfide
or silicone). |
|
 |
Use polyethylene foam or chloroprene rubber as a backup
material. |
|
 |
Provide setting blocks of chloroprene
rubber (90° hardness) at two places
along the bottom edge. |
|
|
 |
 |
Due to a higher reflectance than float glass or heat
absorbing glass, metal-coated surfaces clearly show soil or stains.
Surfaces should be cleaned frequently (once a month at least) to maintain
their reflectance. |
|
 |
The reflective metal coating should first be cleaned
by washing away sand and other solid particles with fresh water, then
washing with a solvent or neutral detergent, and finally by rinsing
with fresh water. Do not use cleaning materials including a solid
or hard material, as these will damage the metal-coated surface. |
