ClimaGuard 80/71: Low-E Glass for Northen Climates

Low-E glass meets ENERGY STAR® and ER criteria

In regions where winter temperatures frequently drop below freezing, such as in Canada, low-E glass in your windows is the first line of defence. New Guardian ClimaGuard 80/71 low-E coated glass is designed to maximize solar heat gain and retain indoor heat, enabling windows, doors, and skylights in northern homes to meet new ENERGY STAR® standards and ER ratings.

When it’s sunny and cold outside, keep it sunny and warm inside.

With a U-factor of 0.26 in an argon-filled double-glazed unit, ClimaGuard 80/71 reduces heat loss through windows and helps maintain glass temperatures that are warmer on the room side. Combined with a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.71, the light and heat naturally illuminate and warm a home, resulting in increased comfort and decreased energy costs.

Double Glazed Thermal Pane

Double glazed thermal pane refers to a type of window construction that features two panes of glass separated by a layer of insulating gas or air. This design significantly improves thermal insulation and energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior environments. Double glazed windows also provide noise reduction and increased security compared to single-pane windows.

Triple Glazed Thermal Pane

Triple glazed thermal pane refers to a window construction that consists of three panes of glass, separated by layers of insulating gas or air. This design provides enhanced thermal insulation and energy efficiency by minimizing heat transfer between the interior and exterior environments. Compared to double glazed windows, triple glazed windows offer even better noise reduction, increased security, and superior insulation.

Here are the key advantages of triple glazed thermal pane windows compared to double glazed ones:

Improved insulation

Triple glazed windows provide superior thermal insulation due to the additional pane of glass and insulating layer, resulting in better energy efficiency and lower heating or cooling costs.

Noise reduction

The extra layer of glass and insulation in triple glazed windows helps to further dampen noise from the outside, providing a quieter living or working environment.

Enhanced condensation resistance

Triple glazed windows are less prone to condensation and frost formation on the interior surface, which can contribute to better indoor air quality and reduced mold growth.

Increased security

The additional pane of glass in triple glazed windows makes them more difficult to break, providing an added layer of security for your home or building.

Greater durability

Triple glazed windows tend to be more robust and durable, offering a longer lifespan and better resistance to wear and tear.

Better performance in extreme climates

Triple glazed windows perform exceptionally well in cold climates or areas with harsh weather conditions, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature and reducing energy consumption.

Keep in mind that the benefits of triple glazed windows come at a higher initial cost compared to double glazed windows. However, the long-term energy savings and improved performance may offset this initial investment.
