Centrum Wicker Park Apartments in Chicago Showcase Crispness and Clarity of Solarban® R67 Glass by Vitro

These contemporary residences are designed with sleek floor-to-ceiling windows, offering abundant natural light and stunning city views. To achieve this while maintaining exceptional solar control, Hirsch MPG selected Solarban^® R67 glass by Vitro, ensuring both beauty and performance.

Solarban^® R67 glass (formerly Solarban^® 67 glass) offers exceptional solar control performance, surpassing expectations for its high level of transparency. It combines superior energy efficiency with remarkable color clarity and fidelity, precisely transmitting and reflecting ambient light and colors, ensuring true-to-life tones and brightness. Enhanced by its low interior and exterior reflectivity, Solarban^® R67 glass offers unparalleled crispness and visual clarity.

In a standard one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU), Solarban^® R67 delivers a visible light transmittance (VLT) of 54% and a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.29. In addition to standard clear glass, Solarban^® R67 glass glass can also be paired with Vitro’s low-iron substrates, Starphire Ultra-Clear^® glass and Acuity^® glass, and range of blue, green and earth-toned tinted glasses.

Centrum Wicker Park offers the perfect mix of location and style. With a Walk Score of 97, an analysis of how easy it is to complete daily errands on foot, residents have easy access to everything the neighborhood offers, including public transportation, retail shops, restaurants and green spaces like Wicker Park and Pulaski Park.
