Building higher structures and more complex or aesthetic facades in a wide variety of climates requires innovative solutions, both from the design of a building and the materials applied.

Architects increasingly incorporate glass as it has a modern appearance and is very versatile. Glass has the essential property of being transparent and lightweight. When used in architectural designs, the challenge for glazing is to simultaneously protect the occupants the people and objects inside from the heat and UV rays without compromising the clear views.

Laminated glass with S-LEC™ Solar Control Film protects against 1,300 to 2,500 nm infrared rays, protecting the skin from burning due to infrared (IR). The absorptive property allows the film to cut over 99% of the UV rays.

Visible light transmitted through the glass maintains its brightness while the powerful heat insulation properties provide skin and temperature comfort. Within this range, we offer an L and H grade to suit a range of requirements.

SEKISUI S-LEC produces various PVB interlayers for architecture glazing, with solar being one of many solutions. Standard features include safety (anti-breakage) and security (anti-break-in) for any interlayer film type we develop. Options include sound and design. Most of our solutions can be combined into one film, guaranteeing their optimal transparency and benefits.

Within architecture, S-LEC™ Films can be applied to various buildings in the following forms:

• curtain walls
• glass fins
• windows
• ceilings
• skylights
• walls
• balustrades
