As the only manufacturer of both sputter-coated (soft-coat) and pyrolytic (hard-coat) glass, AGC is the only single-source provider of the complete range of low-e glass technology to meet the demands of North American residential construction. Today, the powerful combination of both low-e technologies is beautifully illustrated with our U4-4th surface technology, allowing residential architects and window manufacturers to achieve the enhanced energy performance of a triple-pane IGU in a traditional dual-pane IGU (insulated glass unit) .

AGC is also unique in our ability to supplement residential window and door manufacturers’ fabrication requirements, including custom sizes and tempering, to providing finished IGUs, with your choice of spacers. To learn more about these services, contact your AGC representative today.

Clearvision™

The most transparent ultra low-iron glass available today – delivering remarkable clarity and a virtually colorless appearance. With a visible light transmission of 92%, Clearvision floods interior spaces with light and provides outstanding visibility for a range of applications.

Clearsight

Clearsight is AGC’s exclusive anti-reflective glass. The special anti-reflective coating helps to minimize glare and reduces light reflection to ≤ 1% – significantly lower than conventional float glass. When viewed from the outside, the glass appears highly transparent and does not reflect its surroundings. Objects behind the glass are more clearly visible and can be shown off to full effect. This makes Clearsight the ideal choice for applications where a high degree of transparency and minimal reflection are required.

U4 - 4th Surface Technology™

U4 - 4th Surface Technology is a true game-changer for your insulating glass windows. With U4, you can improve your total window U-value performance by 0.04 or more without changing your manufacturing processes. Now you’ll be able to exceed the new ENERGY STAR® standards and still maintain your competitive edge.

Comfort Select®

The Comfort Select family of residential low-emissivity coated glass products is part of the AGC global technology platform, backed by a history of real world applications.

Luxclear® Protect

Luxclear® Protect is a coated glass product developed to protect the surface of the glass by preventing corrosion due to contaminants related to water, heat and high humidity. The Luxclear® Protect coating fuses with the glass and permanently seals the glass surface so it will remain clear and new looking for the life of the product.

Solarshield® Tinted

AGC’s exclusive Solarshield product family offers high-quality tinted products for the commercial and residential markets, as well as the automotive sector. Available in an array of beautiful colors, these tinted glass solutions create an attractive exterior appearance while increasing air conditioning efficiency and comfort, reducing glare, and offering unobstructed views. Made using the float process, Solarshield tinted solutions offer perfectly flat, parallel surfaces and lend themselves to many processing options including single glazing, insulating glazing, tempering, and enameling.
