An Introduction to KillGlass Banner
LGS KillGlass Logo 01

KillGlass is an Advanced, High-Performance Coating Engineered for Glass and Composite Surfaces

Advanced Technology

KillGlass blocks 99.9% of harmful UV rays and up to 90% of infrared radiation, reducing surface heat by up to 17°C and in some cases by 50%.

UV is the leading cause of fading and material degradation.* By cutting UV exposure, KillGlass helps preserve colours and extend the life of interiors, furnishings, and displays, whether in vehicles, homes, shops, or galleries.

The Benefits of KillGlass

  • Ultraviolet (UV) Blocking
    Blocks 99.9% of harmful UV rays that cause fading and degradation in interiors. Protection is essential year round, as UV levels remain high, even in winter.
  • Infrared (IR) Blocking
    Blocks up to 90% of infrared radiation, the main cause of heat build-up in buildings, vehicles and boats that makes the environment uncomfortable. Enhances comfort while reducing strain on air conditioning systems, saving you money.
  • Heat reduction
    On hot days the temperature is reduced in rooms, vehicles and boats and in winter the coating stops heat escaping through the glass therefore reducing energy costs throughout the year.
  • Crystal Clear
    KillGlass Clear coating is virtually invisible so keeps glass surfaces looking sharp.
  • Interior or Exterior
    KillGlass can be applied to either side of the glass surface, especially useful if access is limited..
  • Abrasion Resistant
    KillGlass is a tough, durable coating that resists scratches on glass, polycarbonate, and plastics. Won’t peel, bubble, or distort like stick-on films.
  • Weather Proof
    KillGlass coatings have been tested in all weather conditions and function even in the most extreme locations.
  • Coating Hardness
    KillGlass Hardness is based on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. KillGlass coatings are rated between 8-9H.
Actual KillGlass Test Results

KillGlass Results Explained

Visible Transmittance (VT): The fraction of visible light (380–720 nm) that passes through glass, weighted by human eye sensitivity. Expressed between 0 and 1, higher VT means more daylight. Ideal VT depends on your daylighting needs and glare control.

Total Solar Absorption (60.7%): Energy absorbed by KillGlass.

Total Solar Reflection (5.3%): Energy reflected.

Total Solar Transmission (34%): Energy transmitted.
Note: Absorbed % + Reflected % + Transmitted % = 100%.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): The fraction of solar radiation admitted through glass, directly or as absorbed/released heat. Expressed from 0–1, lower values mean less heat gain and more shading. KillGlass tested at 0.46, a balanced level between high and low gain.

Shading Coefficient (SC): An older standard now replaced by SHGC. To convert SC to SHGC, multiply by 0.87.

Solar Energy Explained - Reflected/Absorbed/Transmitted

When the sun's radiation reaches a glass surface, it splits into three components: Reflected Energy (RE), which bounces off the surface of the glass; Transmitted Energy (TE), which passes through the glass; and Absorbed Energy (AE), which the glass takes in before later being released as heat or radiation.

TE and RE are typically measured using the Parry Moon/Mass 2 method, covering the 300–2140nm wavelength range to provide an accurate average value.
