PPG publishes new glass catalog in print and electronic versions

A digital version of the catalog can be downloaded from www.ppgideascapes.com.

Glenn T. Miner, PPG director, construction, flat glass, said the glass catalog remains a valuable tool for architects and specifiers. “We have made substantial investments in online resources the last few years,” he said. “Nevertheless, we have found that there is still high demand for the printed catalog because it contains all the product descriptions, product data and other information designers and customers need in a convenient, portable package.”

The brochure contains an educational section on glass and energy management that explains how low-emissivity (low-e) glass such as Solarban and Sungate products can reduce energy use in homes and commercial buildings. It includes illustrations for terms such as visible light transmittance (VLT), solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), light-to-solar-gain (LSG) ratio and U-value.

There also is information about other advanced PPG products such as low-VOC (volatile organic compound) DURANAR(R) architectural coatings, ultra-low-VOC PURE PERFORMANCE(R) paint, PITT-CHAR(R) fire-protective coatings, MEGASEAL(R) hygienic flooring systems and ultraviolet-curable RAYCRON(R) coatings for wood floor finishing.

PPG is the first company to have its entire collection of architectural glass products approved through the CRADLE TO CRADLE CERTIFIED(CM) program. For more information or to get a copy of the catalog, visit www.ppgideascapes.com/glasscatalog or call 1-888-PPG-IDEA (774-4332).
