There’s no need to go to triple-pane windows to meet the various energy-saving guidelines. No need to invest in redesigning your windows and altering your manufacturing processes either. A double-pane IG unit with LoĒ-i89 can meet the guidelines.

LoĒ-i89 is sputtered onto the indoor lite, the #4 surface, thus reflecting escaping heat back into the room and lowering U-factors.

Coupled with our LoĒ² or LoĒ³ glass and argon fill, this double-pane unit delivers performance much better than clear triple-pane – a center of glass U-factor of just 0.20 compared to 0.37 with clear triple-pane.

To surpass the U-factor performance of our LoĒ-i89 double-pane unit, you would need to go to a triple-pane unit with a low-E coating in each gap.

With a center of glass U-factor of only 0.20 (0.23 without argon) and SHGC of just 0.25, an insulating glass unit with LoĒ³-366 and LoĒ-i89 meets the most stringent energy standards – without going to a triple-pane unit.

This allows you to offer more double-pane window options that can meet the proposed ENERGY STAR guidelines everywhere in the country.

In addition to providing maximum energy efficiency in a double-pane unit, LoĒ-i89 offers several other customer-pleasing benefits.

Its surface is smooth and scratch resistant, making it easier to remove label residue and clean. And perhaps most importantly, there’s no haze to mar the view.

Rather than absorbing internal heat, LoĒ-i89 reflects it back into the room, making your living space feel warmer and more comfortable.

Naturally Cardinal IG units with LoĒ-i89 live up to the Cardinal reputation for long-range durability, delivering the industry’s lowest failure rate – only 0.20% over 20 years.

Give homeowners another reason to love LoĒ-i89 units – include Neat® naturally clean glass on the outside. Your windows stay cleaner longer and clean easier. Finally, protect your windows in transit as well as on the job site with Preserve® protective film.
