It is a beautiful and cost-effective way to control sunlight without shades or blinds, so you can manage glare and heat while maintaining a connection to the outdoors.
This is why we say SageGlass isn’t designed for buildings, it’s designed for people. Once you experience SageGlass, you’ll never want to go back to traditional glass.
SageGlass controls the sunlight and heat that enter a building, significantly reducing energy consumption while improving people’s comfort and well-being. SageGlass can reduce a building’s cooling load by 20% and HVAC requirements up to 30%.
It is a smarter, more elegant solution than conventional sun controls such as mechanical window shades, blinds and louvres.
Double Glazed Unit Composition
Outer pane: Laminated outer with thickness from 8.8mm to 16.8mm.
Inner pane: Toughened 4mm to 10mm.
Spacer: 100% desiccant-filled stainless steel spacer from 8 to 16 mm.
Seal: High performance dual seal system consisting of silicone and polyisobutylene (PIB).
Air space: 90% Argon-filled.
SageGlass is used in building envelopes to control the amount of solar heat gain whilst maintaining vision through the glazed areas. SageGlass is already installed into hundreds of homes and buildings.
The benefits of SageGlass are numerous:
Permanent transparency regardless of the colour state, optimizing the contribution of natural daylight.
Offers enhanced comfort with regards to light, temperature and acoustics.
Respects the architectural project by removing the need for mechanical and/or fixed shading systems.
Results in lower energy consumption in the building and therefore reduced energy bills.
Simple automated and/or manual control.
