ClimaGuard 80/70
ENERGY STAR® Northern Zone
Selectively lets visible light in to brighten and warm northern homes naturally, and provides insulation to stop heat from escaping
Learn moreAll surfaces reflect, absorb and transmit heat. Guardian low-emissivity (low-E) glass helps control the transfer of heat to help make buildings more comfortable, energy efficient and filled with natural light. As one of the world’s largest glass coaters, Guardian offers numerous low-E solutions that can achieve the proper balance between light and heat.
Technological advances in the last three decades have produced systems and equipment that can coat glass with razor-thin, neutral coatings. These coatings are made with extremely thin layers of metallic oxides and other compounds to achieve specific optical and thermal properties. Depending on the layers used, coatings can manipulate light, reduce heat gain or loss, and achieve a desired color or aesthetic.
Watch the videos below to see how Guardian adds low-E coatings to our glass.
How Glass is Coated
No matter the location or application, Guardian low-E coatings can help meet your expectations for light, comfort and sustainability.
