Neat Glass and Armor Windows Exclusively in Ottawa at Comfort King Windows and Doors

Let nature service your windows

Cardinal introduces Neat naturally clean glass. It harnesses the sun's UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it away, leaving windows virtually spotless. Your windows will stay cleaner longer and will clean easier.

Homeowners and builders will enjoy the effects that a little sun, rain and Neat glass brings to windows. Not only that, because Neat is applied to Cardinal's LoĒ® coated glazings, homes stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Clearly, Neat glass is the choice for your windows.

It all starts with the sun

The titanium dioxide layer of Neat glass reacts chemically with the sun's UV rays and causes organic materials that are on the glass to decompose. It works even on cloudy days, as 80% of UV radiation gets through cloud cover. Thus when it rains, the decomposed dirt no longer clings to the glass, easily rinsing away.

WeatherTech Glass (Armor Series windows)

• Is designed to provide year-round savings!
• Improves the comfort level of a home.
• Helps protect home furnishings.
• Eliminates after-market tinting.
• Reduces condensation.
• WeatherTech soft coat Low-E process is a spattering process (right in the glass during production) and not a film, it can not be scratched off.
• WeatherTech soft coat Low-E has 3 applied coatings to the same inside surface.
• Higher "R" (thermal resistance) value and lower "U" value.
• It is the clearest, highest performing glass available, without haze or a bluish coat, allowing your window to remain neutral while your heating and cooling appliances perform at maximum efficiency.
• In winter, WeatherTech reflects heat back into the room.
• In summer, WeatherTech rejects the sun's heat and damaging solar rays.
• WeatherTech reduces harmful UV rays by up to 1/3 of other coatings.
• WeatherTech complies with Energy Star guidelines.  Energy Star certified products provide better performance in all locations and climates.

Vinyl Frame Info:

Performance:  Armor Series windows are made of an exclusive PVC. Polyresin 3.  Armor Series has a long history of advancing polymer chemistry which has benefited the industry and their products and allowed Armor to design polymers that excel in strength and longevity.

Windows and doors are subjected to harsh environments ranging from intense sun in the South to extreme cold in the North.  Over time, these elements can cause deterioration in the colour, surface finish and integrity of these products.

Polyresin 3 PVC technology was specifically designed to withstand these conditions, maintaining its original lustre for many years to come.  At Armor Series, they conduct ongoing tests to ensure the quality of the Polyresin 3 Technology maintains or exceeds the level required to sustain in the harshest of environments.

Virgin vinyl from pellets not powder.  Armor is also the largest user of vinyl in Canada.

Reliability:  All windows and doors may look similar, however, upon closer inspection, it is clear all windows are not manufactured equally.  Armor realizes the secret to superior joinery is a framing system that has a high degree of dimensional consistency.  A high-quality window is one that does not allow air penetration.  Armor continually conducts a wide range of stringent tests to ensure consistency and quality standards and quality standards are met or exceeded.

Armor Series windows are made of an exclusive PVC Polyresin 3.  It is colour-fast, durable (won't warp, crack or peel), has superior weathering and impact retention and is mildew resistant.

Made only from virgin vinyl, Polyresin 3 displays superior weathering and impact retention.  And because it is engineered for extreme weather conditions, it outperforms in both hot and cold climate.

Spacer Info:

Leading-edge technology & craftsmanship guarantees better windows

• AdvanceEdge spacer technology
• Reduce condensation, maximize performance

Why is this so important?

Think about what windows go through. They have to face extreme temperature changes all year. Plus, they're bombarded with UV rays, barometric pressure changes and nasty wind.

AdvanceEdge's durability means that your windows will remain thermally efficient and condensation-free for many years to come.

Condensation occurs first around the window's edge - where the glass insulates least effectively and where surface temperatures are the coldest.  If a standard "cold edge" spacer exists and outside temperatures fall to 0'F/-18'C, condensation will form on the glass edge even in homes with relatively low humidity.  Condensation is the cause of mould growth and a detriment to your health.

The solution to condensation formation on glass is to increase the thermal efficiency of the edge of the glass.  By replacing the air between the panes of a window with Argon gas or Krypton gas - which are inert, slow moving gases - thermal performance is improved.  Argon gas helps prevent convective heat loss (cold air moving through the window) as well as conductive heat loss (cold air being radiated from the window) to improve energy efficiency.

Armor Series windows feature the exclusive non-metallic White S-Class AdvanceEdge spacer, all-silicone foam formula and a unique dual-seal design engineered to reduce heat and cold transfer, virtually eliminating condensation and increasing the overall insulation value. The inside humidity can go as high as 50% before condensation forms on the glass.

LoE (Low-E) Info:

Low-E (LoE) glass stands for low emissivity glass. It is a technologically advanced, insulating glass that improves energy efficiency by reducing the transfer of heat through windows.

Keeping warm in winter, cool in summer, comfortable all the time... and saving energy too.
