Insultherm Insulated Glass
|
[ TOP ] |
| Originally developed to fill the industry need for a
high performance insulated glass unit for both residential and
commercial applications, Insul-Therm insulated glass units are the standard glazing on high performance Northerm Windows.
The performance of the Insul-Therm insulated
glass unit is derived from the performance of the components that it is
composed of, as the component specifications will illustrate below.

Edgetech Super Spacer

[ TOP ] |
At the edge of an insulating glass unit, the glass is physically connected by a metal spacer which gives the unit its structual stability. However, a metal connection also permits heat loss by conduction, so much so that current glass edges can lose energy ata rate 120% greater than the center of the glass.
Super Spacer is warm edge technology, specifically designed to minimize the loss of heat through the edge of the insulated glass unit. With a heat loss rate 950 times less than industry standard aluminum airspacer, Edgetech Super Spacer prevents that heat loss from the edge of the insulated glass unit. The warm edge created by the Super Spacer prevents condensation, even in environments where the humidity can reach as high as 50%, and drastically increases the overall insulation value of the insulated glass unit.

Cardinal Lo E Glass

Regardless of where you live, choosing your windows
is one of the most important decisions you'll make as you build or
remodel your home. Choosing the right glass for your windows should be
the most important factor in that decision. Why? Because the right
glass can provide years of comfort and beauty while saving you hundreds
of dollars on your energy bills.
The Clear Choice
Among the many
glass products on the market, Cardinal LoE is the one clear choice.
With its patented coatings and superior energy ratings, Cardinal LoE
delivers the clearest, highest performing glass available today. From
cold winter nights to hot summer days, you will enjoy viewing the great
outdoors from the year-round, energy efficient comfort of your home.
Because, Carinal LoE glass blocks most of the sun's damaging
ultraviolet rays, it will help your curtains, carpets, furniture and
wall coverings stay beautiful for years to come.
Year-Round Savings
Although
windows provide beautiful views and wonderful natural light, they can
also account for up to 30 percent of the annual energy consumed in a
home. Cardinal LoE glass is designed to provide you with year-round
savings and comfort by optimizing both the sun's heat and your home's
heating and cooling systems. In the summer; LoE keeps your home cool
and comfortable by rejecting the sun's heat and damaging rays. In the
winter; Cardinal LoE glass helps your home stay warm and cozy by
reflecting heat back into the room.
In Cardinal's state-of-the-art sputter coating process, the
glass is first coated with microscopically thin, optically transparent
layers of silver sandwiched between layers of anti-reflective metal
oxide coatings. A protective coating layer is then applied to ensure
durability and scratch-resistance for long life. These invisible
coating provide the best clarity and performance of all low- and
mid-emissivity glass products.
Cardinal's LoE patented coating blocks 84 percent of the sun's harmful
ultraviolet rays and delivers a 96 percent performance improvement in
winter nighttime insulation (R-value) compared to non-coated air-filled
insulated glass. However; it is virtually invisible to the eye - just
like looking through clear glass. In fact, Cardinal LoE is the
clearest, highest perfming glass you can buy - no haze or bluish cast
to mar your view like some lower-performing products. Cardinal LoE
glass even outperforms the tinted glass often used in warm, sunny
climates. You see and the sun shines in, with no heavy bronze or
smoke-colored tints to darken the personality of your home.
