Energy Savings All Year Long
The full-year benefits of LoE³-366 can be clearly seen. When the temperature soars in the summer, ordinary window glass just can't beat the heat. And tinted glass spoils the view. LoE³-366 is formulated to reject solar heat while maintaining attractive visibility.So it keeps the heat out while letting light in. As a matter of fact, LoE³-366 glass is our ultimate in performance and clarity among all of Cardinal's clear coated products.
What is more, LoE³-366 provides the ultimate in fading protection. It blocks 95% of the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays - a leading cause of fading - so your furniture, carpets, curtains and wall coverings stay beautiful for years.
During the cold weather, the insulating effect of your windows has a direct impact on how your rooms feel. The better insulated the window glass, the warmer your room will feel. In fact the Efficient Windows Collaborative suggests that when glass surface temperature falls below 52°F, there is a risk of thermal discomfort. To maintain the best comfort during the winter, select a glass product that produces surface temperatures that will stay above this point during the coldest outdoor conditions.
A low SHGC is the most important window property in warm climates.
A low U-factor is useful during cold days when heating is needed. A low U-factor is also helpful during hot days when it is important to keep the heat out.
