Description
Insulglass Select® is an Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) that contains a pyrolytic Low Emissivity glass (LowE). Also known as a “hardcoat”, this range offers multiple applications. Note: Insulglass Select® Reflective is a sputter coated Solar coating.
Good Insulation (lower U-value), optimised by the use of argon gas which is supplied as standard with all Insulglass Select® units (may exclude some specialised sizes).
Insulglass Select® characteristics:
- Energy Efficient Insulation (low U-value).
- Insulglass Select® Clear for high Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) to maximise natural light and Passive Heat from the Sun entering inside and filling your space.
- Insulglass Select® Neutral for significantly more blockage of Solar Heat (lower SHGC) and less Glare Factors (lower VLT).
- Insulglass Select® Grey for further blockage of Solar Heat (lower SHGC) and reduction of Glare Factors (lower VLT) while also adding an obvious Grey aesthetic to the glass.
- Insulglass Select® Reflective for the most blockage of Solar Heat of this range, less Glare Factors (lowest VLT) and heightened external Reflections.
- Privacy glass options allow the light to enter in but obscure the image.
- Laminated glass on the other side adds further safety, security, acoustic performance and over 99% protection against fading factors from harmful Ultraviolet rays (UV).
- All glass can be toughened & laminated or laminate used on the other side for Grade A Safety in accordance to AS/NZS 2208.
Note that these traditional coatings (except Insulglass Select® Reflective) come with the risk of visible haze – see Risk of Haze in Hardcoat LowE Coatings guideline for more detail.

Insulglass Select® Clear designed for surface #3 in a standard Double Glazed Unit (DGU).
Insulglass Select® Neutral designed for surface #2 in a standard Double Glazed Unit (DGU).
Insulglass Select® Grey utilises a Grey Tint outer and Select Clear coating inner on surface #3, as tinted glass are designed to be as close to the sun as possible to absorb sun heat, stopping it from entering inside (ie. a lower SHGC).
Insulglass Select® Reflective designed for surface #2 in a standard Double Glazed Unit (DGU).
