Clean Windows? NEAT®!

Want your new windows to be easier to clean?
 

Several window manufacturers have included in their product line-ups a glass coating that aids your keeping the view from your windows as clean as possible.

This is unfortunately not a coating you can add to your old windows.  It is however offered as standard or available equipment on certain windows and doors sold with Cardinal Glass Corp.’s NEAT™ exterior coating.  For instance, Andersen Window & Door Company™ places it in their 400 and A series products as standard.

What does it do?  It allows the glass surface to break down  organic materials like dust to prohibit their bonding to the glass, and spread rain drops more widely to reduce spotting.

If you are the kind …

Double-Hung Windows

The double-hung window is perhaps the most familiar window type. It consists of an upper and lower sash that slide vertically in separate grooves in the side jambs or in full-width metal weatherstripping (see drawing). This type of window provides a maximum face opening for ventilation of one-half the total window area. Each sash is provided with springs, balances, or compression weatherstripping to hold it in place in any location.

French Doors

French-style panels sport wider rails (horizontal frame parts) and stiles (vertical frame parts) and therefore have a smaller overall glass area. The bottom rail is taller than the top, and some manufacturers offer a mid-rail option which splits the glazing into upper and lower parts.
