Guide To Avoiding Glass Failure
Window
Size
The window size is defined as the area
of the glass. This area is calculated from the rectangular
dimensions of the glass plate as determined through direct
measurement using a standard tape measure of appropriate
length. Once the dimensions of the window have been determined
the area of the window is calculated by multiplying the glass
length by the glass width.
As a general rule:
- The use of solar control film is not
recommended for monolithic annealed glass with areas in
excess of 100 sq ft.
- The use of solar control film is not
recommended for annealed insulating glass units with areas
in excess of 40 sq ft.
- The use of solar control film is not
recommended for annealed laminated glass of any thickness.
Check your film manufacturer's
guidelines for specific recommendations regarding these
special conditions.
