Advanced Glazings Ltd. announced the launch of Solera Reserve, a translucent glazing product tailored specifically for refined residential design. This new offering is being piloted in partnership with Alair Homes Savannah, led by Regional Partner David Balza, who will oversee a flagship residential rollout across an exclusive territory stretching from Jacksonville, Florida to Charleston, South Carolina.
“Solera Reserve is what forward-thinking homeowners have been waiting for—something that doesn’t force you to choose between privacy, performance, and aesthetic,” says David Balza, Regional Partner at Alair Savannah. “We’re honored to be the first to bring this product to market. It fits perfectly with our commitment to future-forward design and the pursuit of healthier, more livable homes.”
The partnership
The partnership with Alair Homes was a deliberate choice. Alair’s reputation for delivering materials to discerning, design-driven homeowners makes it an ideal launch partner for Solera Reserve. Balza and his team have cultivated a clientele that embraces innovation—and Solera’s blend of natural light diffusion, privacy, insulation, and elegance answers that call.
Equally important is the geographic alignment: The U.S. Southeast is a demanding environment for glazing solutions. High solar intensity, sweltering humidity, and relentless glare make traditional clear glass a liability. Solera Reserve offers an alternative, designed to tame the sun’s harshest effects while preserving light and enhancing comfort.
“We chose the Southeast for a reason,” says Dr. Doug Milburn, Founder and Chairman of Advanced Glazings. “It’s a region that urgently needs a better way to work with natural light—not against it. Solera Reserve™ empowers architects and homeowners to embrace glass without the tradeoffs.”
Product details
Solera Reserve delivers a combination of performance characteristics:
- Light Diffusion Power (LDP) for full-spectrum, glare-free daylight throughout the home
- Up to R25 insulation and STC 48 acoustic attenuation, reducing HVAC demand and noise intrusion
- Built-in privacy without the need for blinds or window treatments
- Custom glass fabrication, including frit patterns, shapes, and daylight tuning options
- Maintenance-free, all-glass construction—no yellowing, fading, or degradation over time
Whether used above, below, or beside vision glass, Solera Reserve balances openness and intimacy.
Solera Reserve will be available exclusively through a select network of premium dealers and builders, starting with Alair Savannah’s rollout in the Southeast. Future territories will be announced as part of a phased expansion strategy.
