Guardian is one of
the world's largest manufacturers of float glass and fabricated
glass products. You also should know that we manufacture and
supply the automotive industry with a variety of exterior
products. We've also become a significant player in the building
materials distribution business. And somewhere along the line,
we became the world's largest producer of mirrors.
UltraWhite™
Low-iron glass – Clarity you can
see. Are you in the
market for a crisp, clear glass without the long lead times? Do
your customers want color neutrality and improved clarity on
demand? Guardian Industries, a global leader in the glass,
automotive and building products industries, may have the
solution: UltraWhite™ low-iron glass. UltraWhite™ has been
selected as the glass of choice for the World Trade Center #7
Building project, shown at right.
|
|
|
 |
Compare Guardian’s new
UltraWhite™ glass to ordinary float glass, it becomes clear –
clarity you can see. Designers have long sought glass that
doesn't dull or distort the true color spectrum. Guardian UltraWhite™
is that glass. The virtual absence of color makes UltraWhite™ glass
the natural choice when true color and clarity count. |
Characteristics
UltraWhite™ glass is manufactured with reduced iron content –
low-iron glass is clearer. Our scientists have found that reducing
the iron and using a new raw materials formula increases light
transmission and reduces the greenish tint in clear glass that is
most apparent when viewed from the edge. This green tint becomes
more visible as regular float glass gets thicker. The result
is pure, sparkling, very clear glass.
Applications
The stunning clarity of UltraWhite™
glass makes it an obvious choice for atriums, skylights, doors and
entranceways, display cases and storefronts. As a matter of fact,
UltraWhite™ can be used virtually anywhere regular float glass can
be used.
UltraWhite™ provides a dramatic
improvement when used in laminated applications. Until now, the
typical result when laminating conventional clear float glass was
color distortion and a reduction of visible light transmission as
the laminate thickness increased. UltraWhite™’s combination of
strength, security and distortion-free vision equals unparalleled
performance.
Availability
UltraWhite low-iron glass is
available in thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 15 mm and sizes up to
130” x 204”. Guardian has implemented a regular production schedule
to manufacture fresh UltraWhite glass to meet any construction
schedule – 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th
quarter.

Guardian
ExtraClear™
The New Standard for Low-iron
Glass. Whether you
are framing priceless art, a family photo or painting decorative
glass, you expect the image to be clear and the colors to be true.
Now you can count on it.
Guardian understands the importance
of clarity. That’s why we created ExtraClear™. Guardian’s ExtraClear
low-iron float glass utilizes a new material formula that increases
light transmission and color neutrality when compared to standard
float glass. The result is clearer, true colors from your
pictures, art and literally anything protected by glass.
Characteristics
ExtraClear float glass is a
significant step above standard float glass. Containing a lower iron
content, ExtraClear has a higher visible light transmission and
offers superior optics and clarity compared to standard glass.
Standard clear glass has a greenish
tint that is most apparent when viewed from the edge. This green
tint becomes more visible as standard float glass gets thicker. We
have reduced the greenish tint to allow a cleaner, brighter color
spectrum through the glass.
Applications
ExtraClear float glass can be used
anywhere standard float glass can. It does the job of standard float
glass, only better and should be considered for many applications.

DiamondGuard™ LMG
Glass
Low Maintenance and scratch
resistance -- the future has truly arrived.
Any window that requires less
cleaning is a blessing. But make that same window scratch resistant
and color neutral and you have DiamondGuard LMG. It’s the latest
advancement from the scientists at Guardian—a solution that will
help you answer that consumer demand for “easy to clean” windows.
The key is surface properties that minimize debris accumulation and
shed water to keep the glass surface cleaner and clearer. And since
the coating is remarkably scratch resistant, no special handling
during fabrication or installation is necessary.
DiamondGuard™ SRG
DiamondGuard® SRG
(Scratch Resistance Glass) is a family of permanent
protective coatings that provides glass with exceptional scratch
resistance. In fact, glass with one of our DiamondGuard SRG coatings
is proven to be over 10 times more scratch resistant than tempered
and chemically strengthened glass. Developed by Guardian’s
Science and Technology Center using a patented process of
diamond-like carbon deposition on glass, these coatings are not only
renowned for their toughness, but their versatility and beauty as
well.
Heat-Strengthened Glass
Wind load, thermal stress.
Bring it on. Heat-strengthened glass is less prone to
spontaneous breakage than tempered glass. And it’s the product of
choice, with the exception of instances where tempered glass or
laminated glass is required by law, wind load, local or national
building codes.
Tempered Glass
A glass that’s all about
safety, even when it breaks. Tempered glass is often
referred to as "safety glass." And for good reason. It’s more
resistant to breakage than normal float glass. And if it is broken,
it usually breaks into relatively small particles, which are less
likely to cause injury.
|
Laminated
Glass and Security Glazing
When the going gets
tough, our glass gets tougher. |
|
Guardian
produces Architectural Laminated Glass in a full array of
thicknesses and sizes. It consists of two or more panes
bonded together by a tough, durable plastic (polyvinyl
butyral - PVB) interlayer (or interlayers).
If broken by impact, laminated
architectural glass tends to remain integral in its frame,
minimizing the risk of injury from sharp edges and flying or
falling glass particles. It also strongly resists
penetration by the impacting object.
Guardian laminated glass
meets the current requirements of the ASTM E-1172 "Standard
Specification for Laminated Architectural Float Glass," and
is ideal for use in areas where building codes require
hurricane resistant glazing. |

Acclimate™ Residential Low E Glass (RLE)
Any climate, any time of
year—one glass masters them all.
Climates can fluctuate dramatically
throughout a single day – not to mention an entire season –
costing you in utility payments and in the comfort of your
living and workspaces.
Fortunately, the scientists at
Guardian have developed a brilliant solution: Acclimate RLE
Glass, the world’s most advanced low-emissivity glass. Compared
with standard glass, it improves insulating performance by as
much as 50 percent, and does equally well blocking unwanted heat
gain. So, regardless of which way the climate turns, Acclimate
RLE Glass stands up to it, regulating your interior environment
every day, every hour, in every season.
Acclimate RLE 71/38
Acclimate RLE 70/36

• Excellent insulation value (U-Value = 0.29)
Note: This product meets the new energy efficiency guidelines set forth
by the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) for spectrally selective
glazing products.
LSG Ratio: Using the Light to Solar Gain Ratio (LSG) allows performance
comparisons to be made between glazing products, and highlights the
standards set by PPG glasses. The LSG ratio is the ratio of visible
light transmittance to solar heat gain coefficient. The higher the LSG
ratio, the better the glazing is at reducing unwanted solar heat gain
and maximizing desirable natural light transmittance. Excellent LSG
ratios can be attained using spectrally selective tinted glasses and/or

Starphire®
glass is an
ultra-clear glass designed for a wide variety of commercial
applications. It maintains its remarkable clarity in any thickness.
Its incredible
clarity and sparkling edge make it perfect for architectural use.
Starphire® glass is the ideal solution for emphasizing sunny atriums,
entranceways, reception areas, lobbies or entire building facades. In
retail storefronts and displays, it allows the displayed products’ true
colors to shine through.
The high fidelity
color transmission of Starphire® glass makes it possible to incorporate
whites, pastels and soft earthtones in your spandrel designs while
allowing the true colors to shine through. When white or light-colored
ceramic frit designs are desired, Starphire® glass is the solution.
And, when
laminated for security glazing applications, the high transmittance of
PPG Starphire® glass provides an unmatched combination of security and
visibility. Regardless of the thickness of the desired laminate
configuration, Starphire® glass avoids the greening inherent in ordinary
clear glass. From zoo enclosures to jewelry storefronts, Starphire®
provides color fidelity with security. Starphire® glass is
produced in thicknesses 1/8" through 1/2".

PPG
Azuria™ is
a spectrally selective tinted glass like no other architectural glass
product available today, from its aquamarine appearance to its
unsurpassed performance. Azuria™ glass provides buildings with a
desirable low shading coefficient and high visible light transmittance,
a unique combination unmatched by any other commercial glass product.
PPG Azuria™ is the best blend of solar control and visible light
transmittance available in an aquamarine glass product.
Azuria™ is the
perfect glass for ocean-front structures and poolside settings, with its
azure blue appearance complementing the natural beauty of the outdoors
and its high light transmittance bringing that beauty indoors.
Behind that beauty
lies incredible performance. The Shading Coefficient of Azuria™ glass is
extraordinarily low, especially for an uncoated tinted product: 0.44 in
a one inch insulating unit. Yet, visible light transmittance is high,
especially for a tinted product: 60% for a one inch I.G. unit. This
combination yields a Light to Solar Gain Ratio (LSG) of 1.58 which no
other commercially available architectural glass can match.
Note: This product meets the new energy efficiency guidelines set forth
by the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) for spectrally selective
glazing products.
