Glass that you can choose for your Insulated Glass Unit made in our plant.
Standard = Guardian 80/70 (Low E)
Platinum = Cardinal 180/i89 (Low E)
U-Value
In a cold climate a good U-factor for a window is between 0.965 and 2.214. (That,'s between R-6 and R-2.5). Lower is better with U-factor, the opposite of R-value, when higher is better.
Energy Rating
Energy Rating (ER) is a value demonstrating the balance between U-factor, solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and air leakage. The higher the number, the more solar heat the product gains.
