This table shows how Cardinal LoE coatings and argon filling improve center of glass U-value.
Above figures are tested center of glass U-values used for comparison between options.
Complete window U-values will vary and include other factors such as air infiltration and frame construction
*Above options can be made with obscure, tempered or tinted glass.
