Abstract: Soda-lime glass contains by weight the following glass forming oxides:______________________________________ SiO.sub.2 60 to 75% Na.sub.2 O 10 to 20% CaO 0 to 16% K.sub.2 O 0 to 10% MgO 0 to 10% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 0 to 5% BaO 0 to 2% BaO + CaO + MgO 10 to 20% K.sub.2 O + Na.sub.2 O 10 to 20% ______________________________________In order to produce a tinted glass having favorable properties as regards its cost, color and freedom from haze, the following coloring agents (proportions by weight) are incorporated in the glass: ______________________________________ Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 0.3 to 0.5% Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 0.0075 to 0.0230% Se 0.0005 to 0.0019% Co 0.0040 to 0.0070% Ni 0.0050 to 0.

Abstract: A glazing unit permitting collection of an increased amount of incident solar energy and composed of a substrate of a composition such that its total solar radiation energy transmittance is greater than that of a similarly dimensioned substrate of ordinary soda-lime glass, and a coating at least partially covering at least one face of the substrate and being at least partially reflective of infrared radiation having a wavelength greater than 3.mu..
