Lowest Solar Heat Gain
in Clear Glass.

Quad LoĒ-452+ has a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.22, a visible transmittance of 52%, and an excellent 99% UV blocking.  It has a neutral color that compliments any building design or color.  Additionally, it appears neutral in  transmission, reflection, and on angle.

The end result is superior solar control and the lowest emissivity within the Cardinal family of LoĒ coatings. All of which translates to excellent energy-efficient performance.

Welcome to the
Comfort Zone

In hot, sunny climates, Quad 452+ is clearly the superior
choice. It is formulated specifically to manage solar heat
gain while maintaining clear views.

Incomparable fade
protection.

UV light that reaches the interior can damage furniture, carpets and artwork.

  99%

Quad 452+ blocks 99% of UV rays to help protect furnishings, not found in competing coated glass products.

Neat+ coating: standard
on Quad LoĒ-452+ glass.

Standard on all Quad LoĒ-452+ glass and featuring 25% higher photocatalytic activity than original Neat®, Neat+ repels 40% more dust and dirt than uncoated glass.

Neat+ incorporates titanium dioxide that reacts with the sun’s UV rays to break down greenhouse gases such as methane, further cleaning the window. Its antistatic properties also help repel dust and dirt, saving homeowners time, water, and chemicals, while reducing environmental impact. With sufficient UV radiation, water sheets away easily, improving drying time.

Quad 452+ Glass

Neutral Appearance for
Maximum Design Flexibility

In addition to its performance advantages, the fourth layer of silver in Quad LoĒ-452+ glass enhances the grey to aid in a neutral appearance. This provides architects and designers with greater flexibility to specify the glass for a broader palette of building façade colors.

Add LoĒ-i89 to trap the heat indoors during cold weather.

For climates that get cold in winter as well as hot in the summer, insulating glass units (IGUs) with Quad LoĒ-452+ glass can be specified with the optional LoĒ-i89 coating. Indium tin oxide is sputtered onto the interior side of the glass panel to reflect escaping heat back into the room, lowering U-Factor.

Combined with exceptional solar control and naturally cleaner glass, these three coatings in a dual-pane IGU deliver everything you want in a window.
