Atriums with sloped glazing allow light into large floor plates. The widespread implementation of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accreditation for such designs is prompting architects and designers to include vertical glazing and sloped glazing systems into their building designs.

its most popular tinted glasses with Solarban 70XL or Solarban 60 solar
control, low-emissivity coatings on the second surface of the glass.
Low-E glass has evolved considerably since its inception spawning new
variations of itself in high performance and reflective glass. After
flattening out in the late 1990s, the rejuvenation of low-E glass in
commercial glazing projects has been evident in several high profile
buildings in both Canada and the US.
Editor’s Note: A Canadian company is making advances in new coating
technology. Prelco, located in Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec, has installed a
Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) chamber used to apply a newly licensed
nano-technology coating called Nano-Fusion.
The licensed CVD chamber built by the company is the first of its kind
in Canada and is able to apply coatings to monolithic glass and IG
units up to 96 by 196 inches (2438mm by 4978mm) in size.
Prelco is a pioneer in this new technology and Glass Canada magazine
has been following this company’s efforts to educate the industry about
a new wave of nano-fusion products for glass applications. -end-
