All VINYLBILT windows use SOFT COAT LoE Glass (as opposed to Hard Coat)

ADVANTAGES:

  • Soft Coat is a much clearer LoE to look through than hard coat Better insulating values (U value of 0.259*) over Hard coat (*U value of 0.296) The application process of LoE (sputtering process) imbeds the LoE coating while the glass is being manufactured, unlike hard coat which is a film application after the glass is manufactured.

 All VINYLBILT Windows use SimplyClean on all thermal units.

How SimplyClean works:

  • The surface of the glass reacts chemically with the sun’s UV rays and caused organic materials on the surface to decompose.
  • Ultra smooth glass, water disperses evenly (sheets off) and evaporates quickly.
  • Windows require less cleaning.
  • Sputtering process provides the clearest view.

S.S.P. GLASS FEATURES:

  • A feature of the S.S.P. glass is that it’s placed on the inbound pane of glass.
  • This allows the LoE to remain on the outer pane so customers can enjoy the benefits of all levels of the LoE and SimplyClean.
  • It provides an additional strengthened layer of glass laminated to the interior pane of glass making it more difficult for intruders to break in.

HPE GLASS: High Performance LoE Glass (A new level in LoE Performance)
