With the Stopray range, you enjoy the best of what the sun offers. These coated glasses ensure your interior is flooded with natural light while blocking out excess heat. They are always used in double or triple glazing, making them suitable for all climates since they control incoming heat in the summer and prevent indoor heat from escaping during the winter.

AGC’s solar protection coatings deliver excellent solar protection while being transparent and maintaining a neutral colour. The Stopray range is also available in heat-treatable versions, enabling maximum freedom for architectural design.
