Safety glass panel ORAÉ®

insulatingacousticsolar

Summary
ORAÉ® is presented as Saint‑Gobain Glass’s first low‑carbon float glass. It features an exceptionally low carbon footprint of 6.64 kg CO2‑eq./m² for a 4 mm sheet, achieved through a high recycled content (64%). ORAÉ® belongs to the "Les Engagés" range, grouping solutions with verified performance on energy and carbon, resource circularity, and health & well‑being.

Key points

• Carbon footprint for 4 mm glass: 6.64 kg CO2‑eq./m².
• High recycled content: 64%.
• Carbon footprint reduction: −30% compared with reference glass PLANICLEAR® (comparative values provided).
• Selectable for insulating glass units and glazing systems (within the "Les Engagés" range).
• Recyclable in a closed loop via the Saint‑Gobain Glass Recycling network.

Applications

• Building envelope: insulating glazing for windows, curtain walls, lightweight façade elements, rooflights.
• Exterior and interior fittings: balustrades, partitions, doors, shower screens, street furniture.
• Decoration: wall panels, furniture, tabletops, shelves.

Performances
Table (values from product datasheet):
Column: Visible light transmittance TL (%) | Exterior/Interior light reflection RL (%) | Solar factor g | Global warming (GWP) (kg CO2‑eq./m²) | ORAÉ® carbon footprint reduction vs. PLANICLEAR® (%)
ORAÉ® 4 mm: 90.5 | 8.2 | 0.88 | 6.64 | −30%
PLANICLEAR® 4 mm: 90.5 | 8.2 | 0.88 | 9.53 (comparative value indicated on the datasheet)

Additional information
Life‑cycle data (GWP) and EPDs are available and third‑party verified. ORAÉ® can be laminated or produced as SILENCE laminated glass for safety or acoustic insulation requirements, and can be used as a substrate for coated glass ranges (e.g. COOL‑LITE® XTREME, ECLAZ).
