Based in Owatonna, Minn., Viracon has announced a new addition to its VRE (Viracon Radiant low-E) architectural glass line. The new product, Solarscreen VRE-67 insulating glass, combines a neutral exterior appearance and high light transmission (67 percent) with solar control performance that Viracon says equals its Solarscreen 2000™.

"The VRE-67 coating represents the perfect balance for a high-performance coating and commercial building application," said Rick Voelker, technical director. "Architects continue to design with a "green building' mentality, and even for clients who may not strive to obtain certification, VRE-67 offers yet another option for designers balancing aesthetic quality with energy performance."
