Benefits of Electronically Tintable SageGlass

The revolutionary new technology called electrochromic glass in VELUX electronically tintable skylights allows control of the amount of light and heat that enters a room. The benefits of solar control through electrochromic glass include:

  • Light control at the touch of a button without losing a view to the sky...even in the darkened state.
  • Energy savings and elimination of uncomfortable heat gain, even on the brightest and hottest days.
  • Maximum protection from fading of furniture or artwork.
     

How SageGlass Glazing Works
SageGlass glazing is produced by coating glass at the factory with multiple layers of ceramic thin films that in total are less than 1/50th the thickness of a human hair. Applying a low DC voltage causes the active electrochromic layers to darken. Reversing t he voltage polarity causes the layers to lighten. It takes less energy to operate a house full of SageGlass product than it does to run a single 40-watt incandescent light bulb.
     

SageGlass Control System
The SageGlass Control System (ZZZ186) is needed for the FS and FCM SageGlass models. One control system can simultaneously control up to four SageGlass skylights. The SageGlass control system includes power supply, 50 feel connector wire, control switch and a white trim plate for a standard gang box. Click here for more information.
     

Other Information about Electrochromic Technology

Transition Time:
The amount of time it takes for electrochromic glazing to switch from one state to another depends upon several factors such as glazing size and temperature. Generally, the smaller the glazing and the warmer the temperature of the glass, the faster the transition time will be. Average transition times are 5-10 minutes.

Perceived "Pin Holes":
When electrochromic glazing is in its darkest state, very small apparent voids or pin holes in the coating may be visible when looking through the glass. These sporadic pin holes are not a defect and do not affect the overall performance of the glazing. They are a normal aspect of any coated glass but become more visible because of the large contrast of the bright sun against the dark tinted glazing.
     

Warranty
VELUX offers a 10 year warranty on the skylight and the seal of SageGlass IGU's and a 5 year warranty on all electronic functions of the skylight and SageGlass IGU's.
