Float glass is traditionally used in the building and automotive industries to provide both clear and tinted transparent barriers to the "elements." While glass by itself has no significant insulation properties, a variety of coatings applied to the glass surface can satisfy both the aesthetic and energy efficient requirments of architects and automotive designers. However, reducing solar heat load does result in the reduction of visible transmittance.
