The Low-Emissivity (low-E) Glass Difference
Low-E glass helps your home be more energy efficient and comfortable thanks to an almost invisible, microscopically-thin coating that blocks out solar energy and keeps in furnace heat.
As you can see from the picture below, you can feel the dramatic difference this thin coating can make. The window with Low-E glass transmits far less heat than the clear glass window. All that heat is being blocked by the Low-E coating.
Choose Low-E glass windows to feel more comfortable year round and for years to come. Energy Management Glass: Guardian's residential low-E products are formulated to meet specific solar- and energy-control needs of different climates and geographic regions using energy codes and guidelines such as ENERGY STAR.
1. Maintenance-free for life our window profiles are made from an exclusive, 100% virgin uPVC powder compound that is entirely lead-free. This special compound gives the system better resistance to impact and discoloration. The window profiles are maintenance-free and will not crack, blister or warp.
2. Attractive design
Fusion welding gives a more attractive appearance and eliminates the need for adhesives and sealants.
Result: a flawless, 100% watertight and airtight surface.
Internal walls are also welded for increased overall structural strength.
Inside and outside design accessories.
3. No leaks, no fuss, no moisture
Our patented drainage system eliminates water faster and more efficiently than any other system on the market. You no longer have to worry about potential water damage to your windows.
4. Your choice of glazing
Depending on the model, glazing of different types and thicknesses can be applied, including single, double, triple and low-E glazing and laminated glass (3/8" to 1 3/8").
The glazing bead is designed to withstand extreme conditions, including winds up to 375 km/h (235 mph). Located inside, the glazing bead provides greater security and facilitates any glazing replacement.
5. Security-minded
Opening mechanism and high-security multipoint lock parts are firmly fastened in screw boxes and stay secured.
The exclusive screws are specially designed for uPVC.
All screws install through a minimum of two walls for greater stability.
6. No drafts, no energy loss
Airtightness is ensured by triple or quadruple weather stripping (depending on window model).
Air, dust and dirt infiltration are virtually eliminated.
Result: greater comfort—and lower utility bills.
Frame provision prevents the crushing of the bubble weather strip
7. Multi-beneficial frames
The multi-chamber profiles have more chambers than any competing product. Transition from hot to cold inside the structure is gradual. Our system provides superior thermal insulation—and the frame is distortion-proof. Multiple air chambers provide excellent sound reduction.
8. Designed to make life easier
Depending on the model, casements open a full 90° and sashes tilt in for easy cleaning.
Opening mechanisms and lock parts come in a corrosion-proof finish for greater durability.
9. The ultimate investment
Superior quality windows preserve your home's long-term structural integrity.
These window systems are a value-added feature for your home, with increased comfort, minimal maintenance costs and refreshed style.
These all-PVC window systems undergo thorough performance testing to ensure years of trouble-free operation.
