Natural sunshine adds beauty to your home. But it also adds heat. Closing your blinds or drapes can help, but that runs counter to why you have windows in the first place. And with today’s rising energy costs, cranking up the air conditioning isn’t the most economical or eco-friendly thing to do. That’s why Guardian Industries, one of world’s largest and most innovative glass manufacturers, created ClimaGuard 55/27 low-E glass. |
|
This advanced glass allows natural light to brighten your home while keeping much of the sun's heat outside. In fact, unlike typical low-E products, ClimaGuard 55/27 is specifically designed for homes in hot climates, and for homes with expansive windows that capture lots of sun, heat and glare.
Views and rooms stay beautiful. You stay comfortable. Cooling bills stay low.
By preventing 73% of the sun’s heat from entering your home, ClimaGuard 55/27 improves the comfort and livability of your home—even with the shades open and bright sunshine pouring in.
In fact, ClimaGuard 55/27 blocks the sun’s heat 65% better than standard double-pane glass.
ClimaGuard 55/27 is perfectly suited for:
● Sun-drenched rooms |
Not only does ClimaGuard 55/27 keep most of the sun’s heat outside of your home, it can keep more money in your wallet.
When sunlight heats up your home, your cooling system has to stay on longer and work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. But with ClimaGuard 55/27 in your windows, the interior of your home stays cooler, even on the hottest, sunniest days. The result? Smaller electric bills.
An energy analysis by an independent energy and resource efficiency consultant shows that in cooling-dominated climates, ClimaGuard 55/27 can lower annual energy costs 20–34% compared to standard double-pane glass.
ClimaGuard 55/27 helps save energy and keep you comfortable in cool weather, too. Compared to standard double-pane windows, ClimaGuard 55/27 insulates 50% better. So more of your heat stays inside your home instead of escaping through the windows.
The benefits of ClimaGuard 55/27 extend beyond saving money on energy. The glass also minimizes interior glare, reducing eyestrain and making it easier to watch television or look at a computer screen when bright sunlight fills a room.
Dark or reflective glass provides some relief from heat and glare, but it belongs on commercial buildings, not your home. ClimaGuard 55/27 provides an attractive, neutral look that complements any home's exterior design. It’s the perfect glass to make your home more comfortable, more energy efficient, and more attractive. Both inside and out.
