Climatech

ClimaTech® Your solution for increased window performance.

 The optional ClimaTech Insulated Glass Package combines PPG’s Solorban 60 multi-layered Low-E Glass with the Intercept™ Warm Edge Spacer System and argon gas. The ClimaTech glass package is up to 40% more energy efficient than most other low-E or mid-E glass systems, and provides more then twice the energy efficiency of clear glass units.

Excalibur Windows with ClimaTech far exceed the performance requirements set forth by the US Department of Energy in conjunction with the national Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) test criteria. One of the most critical NFRC tests measures the rate of heat loss through a window or door (U-Value). The lower the U-Value, the better the product is at resisting heat flow, which results in a product with a greater insulating value.

Another critical NFRC test is for Solar heat gain Coefficient (SHGC). This procedure measures how well a product blocks heat caused by sunlight. Again, the lower the number, the less solar heat the window transmits into the home.

Both charts clearly show how the performance of Excalibur Windows can be enhanced with the addition of the ClimaTech insulated glass package.

Low-E takes on a new duty in winter months. It lets warm solar rays into your home while blocking the heat in your home from getting out.	Low-E Glass filters long-wave radiation. This reduces heat gain in your home from the sun in the summer, keeping your home cooler.

Performance Options

Make your home an energy miser

It’s easy. Just upgrade your windows with our ENERGY STAR® qualified Clima Tech® Insulated Glass Package.

Excalibur windows are designed for superior thermal performance. By choosing the Clima Tech® insulated glass package , featuring PPG’s Low-E Glass and the Intercept™ Warm Edge Space System, you can help reduce your energy costs even more, while further consumption of fossils fuels.

What makes Clima Tech® Insulated Glass Package so effective?

Since 80% of a window is glass, real heating and cooling savings come from improved glass performance.

• Our combinations of UV-filtering Low-E Glass, insulating argon gas* and the Intercept™ Warm Edge Space System creates energy efficiency. Together they can cut the damaging effects of the sun, which can lead to the fading of carpets, curtains and furniture by an additional 78% over clear insulated glass units.
• In winter, a warmer glass temperature is maintained, increasing the R-value by an additional 104%.
• In summer, a 48% reduction in solar heat gain helps cut air-conditioner costs.

The result: Your monthly utility bills will reflect savings year round.

How reliable are Excalibur Windows?

Independent testing tells the whole story.

 You expect us to say Excalibur Windows are technically superior. And we under-stand that you might want to verify our claim.

That’s why we have independent testing and certification agencies test Excalibur Windows. Here’s what their finding say:

• Excalibur Windows easily passed the rigorous air infiltration resistance testing procedure of the American Society for testing and Materials (ASTM).

ASTM E 283

• Excalibur Windows resisted water infiltration during a test in which the equivalent of eight inches of rain and hour is blown onto the window at a simulated wind speed of approximately 60 mph.

ASTM E 547

• Excalibur Windows maintained their structural strength and integrity in tests simulating winds of over 155 mph. (This is the same wind speed reserved for Category 5 huricanes by the National Hurricane Center). ASTM E 330. These tests were witnessed by independent testing laboratories utilizing the nationally recognized and accepted American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) test standards and criteria. Tough test, tough judges, tough window. Excalibur Windows. The best way to look out on the world.
