New names and ranges
Guardian SunGuard is well established,
representing Guardian’s range of solar
control products. As technology and
legislation have changed, so have the
products and the branding associated to the
family of SunGuard glass.
To rationalise the SunGuard range and
create distinction between the different levels
of performance, Guardian has changed the
branding for some of the SunGuard ranges.
The well established SunGuard High Selective
range has for some time been accommodating
the more advanced SNX products; these have
now been given their own range – SunGuard
eXtra Selective, where all new triple silver
coatings will reside. The High Selective
products have now been renamed becoming
the SunGuard Super Neutral range.
The SunGuard Solar and the SunGuard
High Performance ranges will remain the
same, although the SunGuard Solar range has
been accommodating the new SunGuard Solar
HD products. SunGuard Solar HD offers an
advanced level of durability and can in some
cases be used monolithically, depending on
the application. These SunGuard Solar HD
products will now come under the SunGuard
High Durable range.
There is also a new section dedicated to
SunGuard speciality products. These will be
branded SunGuard Advanced Solutions.

SunGuard ranges and products, visit www.

Customer Focus: Growing
In New-Build And Retrofit
They have more than one reason
to celebrate at Regency Glass
this year. The Lancashire-based
processor has not only notched
up 30 years in business but
is also on course for its third
successive year of record sales,
and the factory is so busy it is
having to share out work to its
sister company, Glasscraft in
Leeds.
Demand is growing in all areas
but especially new-build, which
now accounts for about 20%
of Regency’s work. There is also
an increasing trend in the sector
towards triple glazing for new
developments, and both newbuild and retrofit customers are
going for ever better U-Values.
Sales & Marketing Manager,
Steve Massey, says, “There’s been
a massive upsurge in new-build,
mainly due to easier mortgages,
and we are finding that triple
glazed is being specified here now
more and more. Also, virtually all
our retrofit business is argonfilled nowadays though we are
seeing some increased demand for
krypton.” +?q]????????????????)A????????=???????????????)?????T?Y????????????????)???????????????????????????????????????????????????)?????????????????????t)???????????????????()1?????????????????)????????????????????)9M???????????????????????)???I?!???5@?????1?????1??????)5???????????????????????
