Monolithic Glass

Tints and Coatings

Tints

Our standard colors include gray, bronze, and green. 

Tints are used to:

  • Aid in light transmission levels
  • Help to meet desired specific appearance
  • Improve performance

Coatings

Coatings can be applied to tinted, clear, or low-iron glass. By adding a coating you can change the color and reflectivity. This enhancement is typically used to achieve light transmission levels or meet performance specifications. 

E-Coatings

Low-Emissivity coatings are used to meet certain performance requirements. Geographical location, sun exposure, temperature, weather etc. are all variables used to determine the necessary coating. Performance factors include:

  • Solar heat gain
  • Visible light transmittance
  • Light to solar gain
  • U-value

 …all of which are evaluated to meet specific building requirements.

Glass Substrates

Clear Glass

Clear Glass

Clear Glass

Clear float glass is the most natural, raw form of glass, carrying a green hue.

Low-Iron

Clear Glass

Clear Glass

 Low-iron float glass is composed of less iron than natural raw float glass, resulting in a more true clear aesthetic with less of a green hue. 

Tints

Tints

Tinted glass comes in standard and specialized colors. Standard tint colors include gray, bronze and green.

Heat Soaking

What is spontaneous breakage?

Sometimes, tempered glass can break due to no apparent cause. In relatively rare instances, breakage has been traced to the presence of nickel sulfide stones in the center tension zone of the tempered glass. 

ADG Solutions

ADG utilizes a Jumbo European heat-soaking furnace to achieve a “break now, not later” result, based on the assumption that any glass lites with nickel sulfide inclusions will break during the heat soak process. 

How it works

Heat soaking elevates the glass temperature to 550º F (290º C). Heat soaking can be applied to all uncoated glass and various coated glass. ADG recommends tempered coated glass on all exteriors be heat soaked.

Tempered vs Heat Strengthened

  • Heat Strengthened Glass is twice as strong as annealed glass at the same thickness, size, and type.


  • Fully Tempered Glass is four times stronger than annealed glass and two times stronger. Fully tempered glass complies with safety glazing requirements as outlined by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z97.1 and the federal safety standard Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) 16 CFR 1201
