Light absorbing and sun heat resistant glass
Does anyone know the name of glass which can absorb light and resists sun penetrating it to make sitting underneath too hot in summer.
We're planning an extension/conservatory style next to the kitchen next year. The only light for the kitchen comes from one window which will be changed to a doorway. I'm expecting the kitchen will become darker and probably much darker once we add a covered terrace to the new extension so thought maybe a glass roof (flat) for the covered terrace. This will be south facing so I'm wary of not being able to use the covered terrace and extension when it's very hot in the summer.
Obviously the frame for covered terrace would have to be strong enough to support the glass and snow!

Hi Fen, might be a simpler solution:- (

This gives you option of different densities, reflectivity or patterns. and available from Hungarian companies, this video is from ANVO, other companies no doubt stock the same products.
