ClimaGuard® A+
A low-e (emissivity) glass, specifically designed to have a low 1.2 U-value (W/m²K) combined with the highest level of solar heat gain possible.
- Curtain walling.
- Edge-worked.
- Manufactured into suitable double or triple glass insulating units.
The Guardian ClimaGuard® range is designed for use in insulating glass in residential, commercial and architectural projects. The low-emissivity coatings provide excellent thermal insulation with a neutral appearance. ClimaGuard® coated glass can be combined with clear float, SatinDeco, LamiGlass and SunGuard Solar ranges of Guardian products to provide sophisticated solutions for energy conservation.
Further processing:
- Cut to size.
- Toughening.
- Heat soaking.
- Heat strengthening.
- Laminating.
- Drilling.
- Notching.
- Edgeworking.
- CNC shaping.
- Manufactured into suitable double or triple glass insulating units.
Applications:
- Curtain walling.
- Edge-worked.
- Manufactured into suitable double or triple glass insulating units.
Benefits:

Product Options | Coating: - ClimaGuard® A+: This is for use in residential or commercial buildings. It offers a U-value as low as 1.2 W/m²K in an argon filled double glazing unit and is ideal where window energy ratings apply and high solar gain is factored as a requirement, utilising high g-values above 71% with clear float and 73-74% with low iron glass. - ClimaGuard® DS: This range is for use in residential building. It offers a U-value as low as 1.3 W/m²K in an Argon filled double glazing unit. ClimaGuard® A 1.1 Specifically designed for use in architectural buildings. It has a very neutral appearance and can achieve U-values of 1.1 W/m²K in an argon filled double glazing unit. - ClimaGuard® A 1.0: Lowest U-value, low-E glass range ideal for use in architectural buildings. It offers a U-value as low as 1.0 W/m²K in an Argon filled double glazed unit. By utilising a high light transmission of 72% and mid range solar factor of 54% this product is ideal for specifications like the Passivhaus window specification where it provides a manageable level of solar heat gain.
