Ultra Violet Rays "U.V" Blockage

Although the U.V. represents 2% only of the total solar energy which is penetrating the Ozone layer, it is the main reason which cause colour fading of furniture, carpets and oil paintings. It also has a harmful negative effect on human's eyes & skin*.

Thus, U.V. proof glass was used giving architects immense freedom ofdesigning buildings and of interior furniture arrangement with total liberty, especially in museums and display showrooms.

  • The thicker the glass, the less the U.V. penetration.
  • Coloured glass minimizes the U.V. penetration according to its colour.
  • Reflective glass prevents U.V. penetration more than coloured glass.
  • Clear laminated glass prevents from 99.5% to 100% of U.V. penetration.
  • Coloured laminated glass prevents from 99.5% to 100% of U.V. penetration.
It guarantees almost total U.V. obstruction.


Sometimes when strong light penetration is needed as in houseplants where plants must be exposed to strong light in order to complete the photosynthesis process vital to their growth, it is highly recommended to use clear laminated glass to guarantee maximum light penetration and total UV blockage rather than total coloured or reflective glass.

(*) Excess exposure to U.V. causes skin cancer and retina damage.
