| Glass scientifically formulated for cost-efficient air-conditioning
in modern buildings | |
 An Office Building in Sendai |
| SKYLEX is a heat reflective glass coated on one side with a hard, adherent film, which has a highly reflective metal-oxide coating that reflects solar radiation. Use of this glass thereby increases the efficiency of a building's air-conditioning system. Furthermore, the mirror-like exterior surface clearly reflects surroundings and gives a building an attractive facade. | | |
 | |
 | Energy-saving |
| A large amount of solar radiation is either reflected or obstructed, reducing the load imposed on a building's air-conditioning units. | |
| Glare prevention |
| The glass reflects daytime light in the visible spectrum, creating soft interior lighting conductive to efficiency. | |
| Mirror effect |
| It adds distinction to the exterior of a building. |

 |
Exterior of general construction and high-rise buildings. |

|
Thermal calculations may be necessary depending on the type of walls, because SKYLEX SB Bronze, SKYLEX SG Gray and SKYLEX S Green absorb a large amount of solar energy. |
|
Should a specific reflective image be desired, pre-design discussions with the sash manufacturer is necessary to determine the finished grade of sashes and methods of installation. |
|
Do not use rust-forming sashes, as rust damages reflective films. |
|
Extreme care is required when washing and cleaning curtain walls, tiles, and masonry surfaces, as reflective films can be soiled by cleaning water. |
|
Mask all glass surfaces to protect the film from welding sparks and mortar. |
|
The glass surface should not be exposed to direct currents of air from air-conditioning units. |
|
Use cleanly-cut glass units. Damaged edges can lead to thermal cracking. |
|
If SKYLEX is processed for tempered glass, laminated
glass and insulating glass units, the reflecting images may have greater
deflection characteristics than those of monolithic glass. |

|
Three water drain holes (5 mm in diameter) must be provided at the sash bottom for draining rainwater or condensation quickly. | |||||
|
Use a superior elastic sealing compound (polysulfide or silicone). | |||||
|
Use polyethylene foam or chloroprene rubber as a backup
material. |

 |
|
| SKYLEX reflects more solar radiation than does float glass or heat absorbing glass. Frequent cleaning (at least once a month) is necessary to maintain the beauty and reflective function of the glass. |
| Reflective films require careful cleaning. Wash away sand and other solid particles with fresh water, then wash with a solvent or neutral detergent. Finally, rinse with fresh water. |
|
Detergents containing polishing powders or alkali detergents should
not be used. Do not use cleaning tools made of a solid or hard material,
as these may damage the reflective coating. |
