1. A coated glass article, comprising:
- (A) a glass substrate, having a surface;
(B) a coating of titanium nitride deposited on and adhering to the surface of the glass substrate;
(C) a coating of a silicon complex, represented by the general formula SiCx Oy , wherein x is more than 0 but not more than 1, and y is more than 0 but not more than 2, deposited on and adhering to the coating of titanium nitride; and
(D) optionally, a coating of a metal oxide or an oxide of silicon deposited on and adhering to the coating of the silicon complex, said coated glass article having a visible light transmittance less than about 36%, a shading coefficient measured at both the coated and glass sides less than about 0.5, a glass side reflectance less than about 20%, and a coated side reflectance less than about 25%.

Abstract
Coated class articles, particularly useful as vehicle or architectural glazings, are prepared by a chemical vapor deposition process in which glass is coated with a first layer of titanium nitride, a second layer of a silicon complex, and optionally, a third layer of a metal oxide.
