What is Light Transmittance?
Light transmittance is the ratio of the light transmitted to the interior of the structure to the total incident light. The lower the light transmittance, the less light is transmitted to the interior from outside. Low light transmittance glass, such as Zeledyne Versalux Grey 2000, Versalux R products, and Versalux 2000R products, is used where privacy is of importance. Typical applications include interior partitions and observation rooms as well as exterior applications where increase privacy is desired. With reflective coated glass, such as Versalux R, Versalux 2000R, and Versalux 2000T, a #1 surface (reflective coating out) application results in increased reflectivity, and a crisp mirror-like appearance. A #2 surface (reflective coating in) application allows the base color to be more apparent and provides lower reflectivity. Note: There will be a slight variation of performance characteristics as well as differing glazing/cleaning requirements.
