Viracon introduces its coating, VRE-4725, featuring neutral to graphite reflected tones, 47 percent visible light transmission, and a 0.25 solar heat gain coefficient. The coating can be combined with a broad selection of other fabrication options and can be applied to a variety of tinted substrates to alter the exterior aesthetics and further improve solar performance and glare reduction, according to the company. It can be applied on the same surface as digital print or silkscreen.

Cardinal Glass Industries launched Quad LoE-452, a true four-layer silver coating with solar control and the lowest emissivity within the Cardinal Glass family of low-E coatings, say officials. Quad 452 comes standard with Neat+ glass, creating a combination of superior performance and naturally cleaner glass. Quad 452 has a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.22, a visible transmittance of 52 percent, and a 2.30 light-to-solar-gain ratio.

Sudden Impact is a new patented method of turning IG production into dual-purpose security laminated glass. Once an insulating glass unit is produced and selected for security glass, the IG is horizontally filled with a two-component polyurethane resin material to the desired interlayer thickness for protection required. A computer-controlled meter-mix pump and dispensing machine is the heart of this method of creating an inter-layer for protection. U-shaped IG spacers and PU flexible foam spacers are top candidates for this system.

Details: This vinyl product family features a 4 9/16-inch master frame and 1 ¾-inch stiles and rails; it is available in ¾-inch dual and 1 1/8-inch triple insulating glass units. Grille options include historically accurate 5/8-, 1 1/8- and 2 1/8-inch SDL Bars (putty bead and ovolo sticking). Exterior casing options include 5/4- by 3 ½-inch flat, 4 ½-inch banded and staff bead brickmould. Hidden tilt latches and unfinished wood-based interior are available, as are 17 standard exterior colors. 

Best-selling Features: Interest has been growing in this product since builders and architects first saw the 3D modeled frame parts, says Mathews Brothers. The sash members set into a 4 9/16-inch frame lend the look and feel of wood. Thermal performance and range of U-factors also contribute to its popularity.
