KCC Glass Launches High-Performance Single-Layer Glass 'Crystal Series'

Maintaining the Excellent Economic Efficiency and Workability of Single Glazing, Achieving Double Glazing-Level Thermal Transmittance

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] KCC Glass (Chairman Jung Mong-ik) has launched the high-performance single low-e glass "Crystal Series," which combines excellent thermal insulation and cost-effectiveness with a variety of colors reflecting the latest trends, achieving both performance and design.

Low-e glass is a product that enhances thermal insulation by coating a silver (Ag) metal layer on the glass surface. When the silver metal layer is coated once, it is classified as single low-e glass; when coated twice, it is classified as double low-e glass. Single low-e glass has been widely used in various buildings due to its beautiful colors, ease of processing, and cost-effectiveness, but it has been difficult to secure sufficient thermal insulation due to strengthened insulation regulations.

The newly released Crystal Series is expected to meet consumer needs by dramatically improving the thermal insulation, which was considered a drawback of single low-e glass, while maintaining the excellent cost-effectiveness and processability of single low-e glass. The high-performance single low-e glass Crystal Series boasts the highest domestic level among single low-e glasses with a KS standard thermal transmittance of 1.03 W/㎡K (based on 28T 16Ar double glazing).

Reflecting the diversified latest glass color trends, it is launched in the most preferred colors in the recent architectural market such as transparent, silver, blue, and gray, establishing a product lineup capable of realizing luxurious building exteriors.

The Crystal Series has already been confirmed for application in a large-scale complex facility currently under construction in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and is scheduled to be installed in the first half of this year.

A KCC Glass official said, "The newly introduced Crystal Series is a product that maintains the cost-effectiveness and processability of single low-e glass while having excellent thermal insulation," adding, "Together with KCC Glass's double low-e glass products with the highest domestic performance, we will lead the popularization of low-e glass in the future."

Meanwhile, KCC Glass, boasting the largest production capacity of flat glass and coated glass in Korea, has maintained the number one market share in the domestic glass market by establishing an integrated production system from raw material production to finished products, ensuring stable product supply.
