Soft Coat Glass: Enhancing Your Frameless Rooflight

At Glass Squad, we understand the importance of combining stunning aesthetics with exceptional performance. That's why we often incorporate soft coat glass into our frameless rooflight designs. This advanced glass technology brings a host of benefits to your home:

Superior Thermal Insulation: Soft coat glass, also known as low-emissivity (low-e) glass, features a transparent metallic coating that dramatically reduces heat transfer. This means your Glass Squad rooflight helps keep your home warmer in winter, reducing heating costs, and cooler in summer, minimizing the need for air conditioning.

Optimal Natural Light: While maximizing energy efficiency, soft coat glass allows a high percentage of natural light to flood your space. Enjoy bright, airy interiors without compromising on thermal performance.

Reduced Glare and UV Fading: Our soft coat glass options can also minimize glare and filter out harmful UV rays, protecting your furniture and creating a more comfortable environment.

Minimised Condensation: The warmer surface temperature of soft coat glass reduces condensation, ensuring a clear view and preventing moisture-related issues.

Enhanced Acoustic Comfort: When used in our double or triple-glazed units, soft coat glass contributes to a quieter indoor environment by reducing external noise transmission.

Glass Squad's expertise in glazing ensures that your frameless rooflight not only looks beautiful but also provides exceptional energy efficiency, comfort, and long-lasting performance.

What is Tinted Grey Glass?

Tinted grey glass, also known as body-tinted glass, features a subtle grey hue throughout the entire pane. This tint is achieved by adding specific colourants to the raw glass materials during the manufacturing process, ensuring a consistent and integral colouration. This not only provides a contemporary look but also imbues the glass with unique performance characteristics.

The Benefits of Tinted Grey Glass in Rooflights:

Reduced Glare: The gentle grey tint effectively minimizes sun glare, creating a more comfortable and visually relaxed interior environment. This is particularly advantageous for rooflights, which are directly exposed to overhead sunlight.

Solar Heat Control: Tinted grey glass absorbs a portion of the incoming solar energy, helping to reduce heat gain within the room. This contributes to maintaining a cooler and more comfortable indoor temperature, especially during warmer months, potentially lowering the need for excessive air conditioning.

Enhanced Privacy: The slight tint offers an increased level of privacy without significantly compromising the amount of natural light entering the space.

Stylish Aesthetics: The elegant grey shade of the glass adds a touch of modern sophistication to any building design. It complements a wide range of architectural styles, providing a subtle yet impactful visual element.

Versatility: Tinted grey glass can be incorporated into toughened and laminated glass options, as well as double-glazed units, allowing Glass Squad to create secure, energy-efficient, and high-performance frameless rooflights tailored to your specific needs.

Frosted/Satin Glass for Rooflights by Glass Squad

Looking for a rooflight solution that provides diffused light and enhanced privacy? Glass Squad offers premium frosted or satin glass options, ideal for creating bright yet secluded spaces.

What is Frosted/Satin Glass?

Frosted and satin glass are types of obscured glass produced by acid-etching or sandblasting a clear glass surface. This process creates a translucent finish that diffuses light while obscuring direct vision. The terms are often used interchangeably, with slight variations in the texture and level of opacity. This treatment provides a soft, elegant look and practical benefits for rooflight applications.

Benefits of Frosted/Satin Glass in Rooflights:

Enhanced Privacy: The primary advantage of frosted/satin glass is the high level of privacy it offers. It obscures direct views from the outside, making it an excellent choice for rooflights in areas where overlooking is a concern.

Diffused Natural Light: While providing privacy, this type of glass allows a significant amount of natural light to filter through. However, it diffuses the light, reducing harsh glare and creating a softer, more even illumination within the space.

Soft Aesthetics: Frosted and satin glass have a smooth, elegant appearance that can enhance the aesthetic appeal of any room. They offer a sophisticated and contemporary look for your rooflight.

Reduced Glare: By scattering the incoming sunlight, frosted/satin glass minimizes glare, making the interior space more comfortable and reducing strain on the eyes.

Versatility: Frosted/satin glass can be incorporated into double or triple-glazed units to improve thermal efficiency and sound insulation, offering a combination of benefits for your Glass Squad rooflight.

Ideal for Specific Areas: This type of glass is particularly well-suited for bathrooms, bedrooms, or any area where privacy and soft, diffused light are desired.

Solar Control Glass for Frameless Rooflights by Glass Squad

At Glass Squad, we understand that maximizing natural light while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment is key for any rooflight installation. That's why we offer advanced Solar Control Glass options for our premium frameless rooflights, providing a high-performance solution for your property.

What is Solar Control Glass?

Solar Control Glass is specifically engineered to manage the amount of solar radiation that passes through it. This specialized type of glass features a thin, transparent coating that selectively filters the sun's energy. Unlike standard glass, it is designed to reduce the transmission of heat-generating infrared (IR) radiation and, in some cases, harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, while still allowing a significant amount of visible light to enter your space.

Key Benefits of Solar Control Glass in Glass Squad Rooflights:

Superior Heat Reduction: The primary advantage of Solar Control Glass is its ability to minimize solar heat gain. By reflecting a significant portion of the sun's energy, it helps to keep your interiors cooler during warmer months. This can lead to a more comfortable living or working environment and potentially reduce the need for energy-intensive air conditioning, resulting in lower energy bills – a significant benefit highlighted by Glass Squad.

Optimal Natural Light Transmission: While effectively controlling heat, our Solar Control Glass is designed to allow ample natural daylight to flood your space. This ensures a bright and airy interior, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and enhancing the overall ambiance. Glass Squad prioritizes maximizing natural light while ensuring thermal comfort.

UV Protection: Many Solar Control Glass options also offer excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This helps to prevent the fading of interior furnishings, fabrics, and artwork, preserving their appearance for longer – a valuable feature for homeowners and businesses alike.

Glare Reduction: Certain types of Solar Control Glass can also help to reduce glare from direct sunlight, enhancing visual comfort within the room. This is particularly beneficial for spaces where excessive glare can be disruptive.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency: By reducing the need for cooling, Solar Control Glass contributes to the overall energy efficiency of your building, aligning with Glass Squad's commitment to providing sustainable glazing solutions.

Aesthetic Versatility: Solar Control Glass is available in various subtle tints and performance levels, allowing you to choose an option that complements the aesthetic of your property without significantly altering the appearance of the glass. Glass Squad can advise on the best option to suit your design preferences.
