Guardian’s New ClimaGuard A+
offers very best WER results
Now with new performance
figures, ClimaGuard A+ from
Guardian Glass UK offers the
very best WER results.
The new , improved ClimaGuard
A+ Low E glass retains the same
1.2 U value combined with an
increased solar heat gain (g value)
of 73% with a Clear outer pane or
as high as 76% with a Low Iron
outer pane. This improvement
makes it the leading soft coat Low
E glass in WER performance.

The new ClimaGuard A+
uses an advanced coating layer
stack to increase solar heat gain
performance; however, ensuring
this increase didn’t affect the
reliable durability of the original
ClimaGuard A+ was paramount.
To retain this durability, the
coating layer stack was maintained,
yet finely tuned to achieve the
highest solar heat gain (g value)
currently possible in combination
with a 1.2 U value performance.

“The redevelopment of
ClimaGuard A+ was imperative
to its continued success in the UK
and Ireland,” said Mark Bristow,
Regional Manager for Guardian
Glass. “Having our own coater
has enabled us to work with the
coating layer stack for ClimaGuard
A+ and improve its performance
without compromising its
durability.”
Guardian’s new ClimaGuard A+
is available now.

City Building returns to Halo

(L) Cllr. Gordon Matheson, Leader of
Glasgow City Council, (R) Jon Collins, RSBi.

Halo has once again won the contract to
supply high quality PVC-U systems for City
Building Glasgow, one of Scotland’s largest
construction companies with turnover of
almost £200 million.
Having decided to go back into window
fabrication, the company put its supply
contract out to tender and Halo was found
to offer a profile system which met all the
company’s requirements when it came to
quality, energy efficiency and accreditations,
while falling within the required budget
parameters.
The company will be fabricating Halo’s wellrespected System10 product range for clients

including Glasgow Housing Association and
the City Council.
Colin Torley Sales and Marketing Director
of The VEKA UK Group said:
“Halo’s systems offer all the quality and
accreditations you would expect as a brand of
The VEKA UK Group, and this makes them
perfect for social housing, education and
commercial applications in particular.
“A four-year deal has been drawn up with
City Building and we very much look forward
to working with the Glasgow-based team.”
