is a soft coat high performance solar control glass and Low E glass wrapped into one coating. The performance of this glass is superior to that of Stopsol however much more fragile and therefore required to be assembled in a double glazed unit. The Stopray range includes numerous types of reflecting double glazed units in a veritable rainbow of colours. All offer outstanding solar protection and thermal insulation. These characteristics make Stopray ideally suited to the requirements of modern architecture, both technical and aesthetic. |

- lets through a maximum of visible light (wavelength between 380 and 780nm), so as to maintain a high level of natural lighting.
- simultaneously, its reduces the intensity of infrared solar radiation by a significant amount.
- Stopray offers very low levels of energy transmission, as little as 13% in some cases.
- Stopray reflects up to 97% of the ambient radiation from the inside (between 5 and 50 um). This gives a thermal insulation coefficient which can be as low as U = 1.2W/m2.K (with an internal space of 12mm)

The following figures illustrate this effect, showing a comparison between the transmission curves for the solar spectrum (UV, Visible and Infrared) through Planibel Clear glass, Planibel grey and Stopray Silver 43/25.
The selective effect of Stopray can clearly be seen, Letting through most of the visible light and stopping infrared almost completely. |

While all designers aim to achieve harmony of colours between vision glass and spandrel glass, some see this harmony as perfect match of window and spandrel, while others prefer complementary shades.
Depending on the type of Stopray, either the same type of Stopray for the spandrel, or a monolithic glass (tempered or heat strengthened) can be used.
The glazing components of Stopray insulating units can be specially treated to give them extra properties to suit the particular application, these include –
- Tempered or heat strengthened glass
- Laminated Glass
- Acoustic insulation
- Special shapes
Stopray, the high performance glass with superb aesthetics, is the functional glazing per excellence when it comes to “smart” applications. Stopray adapts itself to all climates, all seasons. As such, it represents the ideal solution, guaranteeing optimum comfort at all latitudes and opening the way to new heights of architectural aesthetics. |
