Vitro Architectural Glass is pleased to announce one of its newest products, Sungate ThermL™ glass, was named one of the “Top 75 Products of 2024” by Building Design + Construction (BD+C).

The BD+C editorial team reviews a diverse selection of new and updated products, materials, and systems for the U.S. building design and construction market each year. This process focuses on identifying innovative solutions and valuable resources that will significantly enhance the industry’s effectiveness and efficiency. 

Sungate ThermL™ glass is a new low-emissivity (low-e) coating engineered for use on the interior surface of a typical one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU) that reduces heat transfer and dramatically improves U-values when paired with a Solarban® solar control low-e glass by Vitro on the second surface. 

Pictured left to right are Sungate ThermL™ glass with Solarban® 60 glass and Solarban® 60 glass alone. Sungate ThermL™ enhances U-value while maintaining the visual characteristics of the IGU.

The fourth-surface low-e coating enables superior thermal performance, improving U values by 20% or more, without changing the visual characteristics of the IGU because of its colorless and low-reflective aesthetic. 

Available now exclusively through Vitro Authorized® and Vitro Certified® fabricators, Sungate ThermL™ glass is ideal wherever increased insulation performance is needed. Another benefit of Sungate ThermL™ glass is that the coating is as durable and resistant to mechanical abrasion as uncoated glass.
