Performance
| R-Value (centre of glass)
The amount of heat retained by a window; the higher the number, the better the glass |
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient
The amount of solar radiation entering a house and registering as heat gain; the lower the number, the less heat gained |
 |
 |
| Ultraviolet Transmission
The total ultraviolet rays entering through a window, generally responsible for fading; the lower the number, the better the glass |
Visible Light Transmission
How much visible light enters through the glass; 100% = all the light gets through, 0% = no light gets through |
