Sungate 400 glass
With its extensive background in multiple glass coating technologies, Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG glass) has the ability to continually refine products to meet the needs of homeowners in a range of climates. Sungate® 400 glass is a superb example of that expertise.
Building on decades of proven technology and performance, Sungate® 400 passive low-e glass is engineered to meet Canadian ENERGY STAR® requirements, as well as the increasingly rigorous demands for energy-efficient windows in northern U.S. climates.
With a winter nighttime U-value of 0.28, Sungate® 400 glass helps homes trap winter furnace heat up to 41% more effectively than standard double-pane insulating glass units fabricated with clear glass. The same coating also cultivates a feeling of warmth and comfort in homes by allowing almost 70% of the sun’s heat energy to pass through, along with nearly 80% of the available daylight.
The benefits of Sungate® 400 glass remain when days get longer and warmer, too. In the spring and summer, Sungate® 400 glass continues to deliver lower energy costs by blocking solar heat and transmitting high levels of sunlight. That not only diminishes demand for air-conditioning, while also cutting the electricity bill for lighting.
For even greater year-round insulating performance, homeowners can insist on windows made with Sungate® 400 glass and Intercept® Warm-Edge Spacers by Vitro glass. With the industry’s highest thermal performance rating, Intercept® spacers deliver the added benefits of reduced heat transfer, less condensation and enhanced durability to protect your window investment for years to come.
