Solar E glass and cooler Caribbean interiors
2026-07-08

How coated glass reduces heat gain so air conditioning works less hard between storm seasons.
Heat gain is the quiet bill
West-facing rooms in Jamaica and Trinidad often fight afternoon sun. Solar E coatings reflect a portion of solar energy before it becomes indoor heat, which can ease air-conditioning load.
Less UV also slows fading on floors, curtains, and furniture — a comfort and cost win beyond the electricity meter.
Pairing glass with the right series
Ask whether Solar E sits inside a Basic, Security, or Hurricane package for your elevation. Domus specialists match glass builds to budget and risk, not a one-size catalogue pick.
