For many years, building designers have been looking for new materials for façades, and in today's architecture glass has found extensive use. Homes, offices and public buildings overflow with light, but the high degree of transparency of glass can lead to overheating and high UV transmittance.​​​​​​​To prevent this from happening, architects need state-of-the-art façade glass solutions, and Effector Sun Effect solar protection glass has become the answer. These glass panes use glass produced by sputtering metal layers or metal oxides, which allows an ultra-thin coating to be achieved, giving a uniform appearance and superior optical quality. On the basis of appearance, method of manufacture and effect on the reduction of solar radiation, solar protection glass is divided into three groups: absorptive, reflective and selective.
