Guardian Glass North America has launched ClimaGuard 55 coated glass, offering a best-in-class solar heat gain coefficient for the mid-VLT category product (as of this publication) to help residential window manufacturers meet increasingly stringent energy standards with industry-leading performance. Designed for ENERGY STAR Version 7.0 compliance in the Southern, South-Central and North-Central zones of the U.S., ClimaGuard 55 coating is a double-silver product with triple-silver performance. It provides a visible light transmission of 55 percent, a U-Value of 0.243 to support thermal insulation and a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.258. ClimaGuard 55 will give homeowners in warm climates a subtle, neutral aesthetic while helping to block solar heat and glare without darkening the room, helping to create bright, inviting interiors and clear views. Combining CG 55 with Guardian ClimaGuard IS 20 interior surface coating will further enhance performance by further reducing solar heat gain and U-Value.
