Omega 12™
A New Standard in High Performance Windows
Vanguard Windows introduces our exclusive
Omega 12™ Glass System that will save consumers more money and achieve higher performance levels than other types of Low-E Glass windows on the market today. Omega 12™ reflects the heat from your furnace back into your home in the wintertime, blocks out the heat from the sun in the summertime, and filters out damaging Ultraviolet Rays that cause fading of furniture, carpet and wall coverings. Omega 12™ Glass System provides the highest levels of year round comfort and energy savings, making it the best choice for replacement windows.
Saves in the Wintertime
During the cold weather, the insulating effect of your windows has a direct impact on how comfortable your rooms feel. The better insulated the window glass; the warmer your home will feel. Omega 12™ reflects the heat from your furnace back into your home which saves you money on your heating costs.
The Energy Loss Rate chart shows the percentage of heat from your furnace that is lost through certain types of window glass. The lower the loss rate the more efficient the window.
Saves in the Summertime
When the temperature soars in the summer, ordinary window glass just can’t beat the heat and tinted glass spoils the view. Omega 12™ is built to block out the heat from the sun in the summertime, so your home stays comfortable, and you save money by reducing the load on your air conditioner.
The Solar Heat Gain chart shows the rate for different types of window glass systems. The lower the Solar Heat Gain rate, the better the window will do in blocking out the heat from the sun in the summertime, and the more efficient the window will be.
Saves All Year Long
Omega 12™ provides the ultimate in fading protection. It blocks 95% of the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays, a leading cause of fading, so your furniture, carpets, curtains
and wall coverings stay beautiful for years. And no need to worry, your indoor plants will still thrive with your Omega 12™ windows.
The Percent of Harmful UV Blockage chart shows the percentage of harmful UV rays, the primary cause of fading, that are blocked by different types of glass. The higher the percentage of blockage, the less likely you are to experience fading in your fine furnishings
and fabrics. |
