The principle behind this is the difference in thermal wavelength of energy transmitted from the sun and that transmitted from the heat within a room. The special coating often gives a very slight brown or grey tint to the glass. The coating is not very robust and would not last very long if subjected to normal cleaning or external weather conditions - for these reasons, this type of glass is normally only used in sealed double (or triple) glazed units with the special coating on the inside.
