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 glass help you handle the weather – any weather.
Hot sun? Cool windows.
When the temperature is heading to the top of the thermometer, ordinary window glass simply welcomes in the heat. Cardinal LoĒ², however, has been specially formulated to reject the sun’s heat and damaging rays and keep your home cool and comfortable.
The patented LoĒ² coating provides high performance solar control and visual clarity. The end result of all this engineering is that Cardinal LoĒ² provides the ultimate in comfort because it reduces window heat gain by 50% or more when compared to ordinary glass.
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.
In fact, the Efficient Windows Collaborative (www.efficientwindows.org) suggests that when glass surface temperatures fall below 52°F, there is a risk of thermal discomfort. To maintain the best comfort during the winter, select a glass product that produces surface temperatures that will stay above this point during the coldest outdoor conditions.
