Solar control for all seasons
Every day, the sun provides an enormous amount of
energy. In colder climate areas, this energy is beneficial and welcomed
for warming homes. But summer temperatures throughout the U.S. can reach
a blistering level and bring discomfort into the home. Since the
majority of solar heat gain comes through your windows, choosing the
right glass can be a key factor in comfort and year-round energy
savings.
Cardinal CG Company's LoĒ²-270 glass is the perfect
glass for all season comfort. It reduces solar heat gain by 50% or more
when compared to ordinary glass. Although it is a clear glass, LoĒ²-270
even outperforms ordinary tinted glass typically used in sunny climates.
And though it's coated, LoĒ²-270 lets the light shine in to warm your
house during the cooler winter months.
Glass so smart, it can control your comfort
LoĒ²-270 glass features a unique coating that has been
specially formulated to reject the sun’s heat, damaging rays and keep
your home cool and comfortable.
Using Cardinal’s state-of-the-art vacuum sputtering
process, the glass is coated with microscopically thin, optically
transparent layers of silver sandwiched between layers of
anti-reflective metal oxide coatings. The patented LoĒ² coating provides
the best clarity and highest performance of all low solar gain
low-emissivity glass products.
LoĒ²-270’s patented coating blocks 83% of the sun’s
harmful ultraviolet rays and 96% of the sun’s infrared heat. Now,
instead of shutting out the sun during the hot summer months, you can
let the light shine in without letting the heat come too.
Cardinal’s LoĒ² coatings reduce not just interior
discomfort, but also annual energy costs.
Frigid outside, cozy inside
During cold weather, the insulating effect of your
windows has a direct impact on how your rooms feel. Typically, 75% of
the exposed surface of a window is glass, and the temperature of the
room-side of the glass directly affects the air temperature in the room.
The better insulated the window glass, the warmer your room will be.
So regardless of where your home is located, choosing
windows that provide you with the highest level of comfort and energy
savings year-round is extremely important. And choosing the right glass
for your windows is the most important factor in that decision. Go
beyond ordinary low-E glass. Let LoĒ²-270 help you handle the weather –
any weather.
