Cardinal Glass Rolls Out NEAT Glass Technology
Clean
This new glass uses two different types of coatings that do two things:
- Silicon dioxide makes Neat® glass exceptionally smooth. It’s much smoother than ordinary glass. Water disperses evenly, “sheets off” and evaporates quickly, greatly reducing water spotting.
- Titanium dioxide reacts chemically with the sun’s UV rays, which causes organic materials that are on the glass to decompose. It works even on cloudy days, as 80 percent of UV radiation gets through cloud cover. When it rains, the decomposed dirt rinses away, leaving the glass almost spotless. Result? Homeowners can spend less time washing windows and more time enjoying the view.
This combination offers the ultimate in low maintenance. It provides the best energy-conserving LowE glass on the planet. Homes stay warmer in winter, cooler in summer. Neat® LowE conserves energy year-round, too, saving homeowners up to 25 percent annually.
Quiet
This Neat® technology reduces unwanted outside noise by as much as 25% more than a standard double-pane glass. It also reduces noise by up to 50% more than a plastic skylight.
Safe
VELUX recommends and building codes require laminated glass for out of reach applications.
Standard On All Velux Skylights.
All skylights (excludes roof windows) from Velux Skylights will come standard with this product.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, this is very cool technology that people will eventually use in all glass.
A cleaner brighter world!
We can all use that.
