Choose from a wide range of Rationel FACADE standard colours (plus additional shades on request) to add visual impact and special effects, or to create coloured safety glass installation panels across floor slabs, for example. Designed to minimise solar gain – free heat from the sun – Rationel SOLAR glass is the ideal choice for south or west facing windows or facades, to help ensure a comfortable temperature in every room.
