Solar reflective glass is produced by applying a metallic layer onto the glass surface. The process is the so-called magnetically enhanced sputtering under vacuum.

With a mirror-like appearance, the solar reflective coating reduces solar heat gain by reflecting and absorbing solar energy. Solar reflective coatings can be further processed as laminating or double glazing. some types of solar reflective coatings can be heat treated afterwards, such as tempering or curving, etc.
