PPG Architectural Glass Tools
The following are innovative tools that can help you assess and compare the architectural glass and glazings products that you may be considering for your next commercial construction project:
PPG Glass eVIEW
PPG Glass eVIEW is a comprehensive set of tools designed to help architects, specifiers, fabricators and glaziers identify the PPG glass products that best meet their projects' aesthetic and performance goals. Currently, these new tools are in BETA testing. We would appreciate your feedback on how well they meet your needs. Please click on the links below to access the Search, Construct and View functions; try the tools, and then click on Contact Us to provide us with your comments and suggestions for improvement.
Search through PPG Glass' extensive selection of products and compare the features and benefits of each. Construct a custom IGU from the virtually unlimited number of glazing configurations. View the glass you've selected or configured to see the impact it will have on visible light.
After you've identified the product you need, browse our Project Gallery to view completed projects that have used it and order a sample to see the amazing aesthetics for yourself.
