Affordable Low‑e, Low‑Iron Glass
The right glass can be the focal point of your design. Combining the superior color accuracy of Acuity® low-iron glass with the peak energy performance of Vitro’s Solarban® family of glass products creates a visually striking and high performing façade. Acuity® glass is available with the full spectrum of Solarban® solar control, low-e coatings, providing multiple options to meet your project's needs while adhering to budgetary constraints.
Less Green. For Less Green.
Developed based on 30 years of experience manufacturing Starphire Ultra-Clear® glass, Acuity® glass is produced utilizing proprietary low-iron materials and processes. Designed specifically for exterior vision glazing applications, Acuity® low-iron glass serves as a substrate for Solarban® low-e coatings and is 60% less green than standard "clear" glass. It is suitable for all lites in an insulating glass unit (IGU) or laminated configuration, offering exceptional performance and optimal aesthetics for a fraction of the total installed façade cost.
For configurations that require exposed edges, such as interior applications, Vitro recommends Starphire Ultra-Clear® low-iron glass, known for its distinctive azure blue edge and exceptional clarity. Starphire® glass is 87% less green than standard "clear" glass and can also be paired with Solarban® low-e coatings.
All configurations include uncoated Acuity® glass as the interior lite. Available coatings include:
- Solarban® 60 Glass
- Solarban® R67 Glass
- Solarban® R77 Glass
- Solarban® 72 Glass
- Solarban® 90 Glass
- Solarban® R100 Glass

In addition to office buildings, institutions, hotels and schools, Solarban® Acuity® glass can be specified for exterior applications from luxury condominiums and mixed-use buildings to entrances and storefronts. Solarban® Acuity® glass is also ideal for distinctive exterior applications such as atriums, skylights and spandrel glass.
