Coated glass, also known as reflective glass, has become a cornerstone in modern architecture, industrial design, and environmental sustainability. At its core, coated glass is a standard piece of float glass that has undergone surface treatment through the application of one or more thin layers of film. These films are typically made of metals, metal alloys, or metallic compounds, and they dramatically alter the glass’s optical and thermal performance.
This article provides a comprehensive introduction to coated glass, including its types, applications, common defects, and recommended solutions.
