INTRODUCING GUARDIAN SUPERNEUTRAL 54
Syracuse Glass and Guardian Industries are pleased to announce another addition to the popular SunGuard Series of high performance architectural glass products.
SN-54 improves glass energy performance 30% compared to current commercial building energy standards, (ANSI/ASHRAE 90.1-2004), enabling LEED credits in multiple categories, including energy savings and daylighting.
With an excellent SHGC of .28, 72 percent of solar energy is blocked.
Yet with a visible light transmission of 54%, a high degree of natural light is allowed into the building interior, but SN-54 lowers interior glare – a great feature for applications where occupants need to see computer monitors.
SN-54 is also a great value, since it is applied to less costly regular clear glass as well as premium low-iron ultra-clear glass substrates, unlike competing offerings.
Unlike SN-68 which is always a standard inventory item, SN-54 will be brought in for larger commercial projects. But if long lead times are a concern, Syracuse Glass and Guardian Industries are frequently the fastest source for high performance glass.

LOW PROFILE DOOR RAILS FOR ALL GLASS DOORS AVAILABLE
Syracuse Glass is pleased to announce the availability of commercial all glass doors with 2 5/16” door rails! C R Laurence’s new Low Profile Door Rails make this possible. At 2 5/16” in height, these new rails are almost half the size of the traditional 4” rails, making the Low Profile all glass door a great choice for designs that call for the minimum amount of metal framing.
The new low profile rails also incorporate the popular wedge lock feature which allows for field adjustment! Another unique feature – the rail can accommodate a floor lock. An 8” patch fitting, matching sidelite bases, and a complete hardware color selection make for a complete system, using ½” tempered glass.
For more information, call Ryan Friedman or Daryl Bertollini, or refer to the CRL Architectural Hardware Catalog AH07, available on request from Syracuse Glass.

SYRACUSE GLASS BECOMES A GUARDIAN SUNGUARD SELECT FABRICATOR
Syracuse Glass is teaming up with Guardian Industries to produce high quality, high performance coated insulating glass as a Sunguard Select Fabricator. This alliance represents a CLEAR NEW ALTERNATIVE for Glazing Contractors, Design Professionals and Building Owners looking for insulating glass with best-in-class APPEARANCE and PERFORMANCE with reasonable LEAD TIMES.
Guardian Industries is a global glass industry leader with a particularly strong expertise in advanced glass coatings. Guardian has five large-scale glass coaters in the U.S., including one at their GENEVA, NY FLOAT GLASS PLANT, just one hour by truck from our location! This tremendous local resource enables us to offer some of the industry’s fastest service, even with traditionally difficult and expensive to obtain “soft coated” solar control tempered insulating glass. Guardian’s TECHNICAL SUPPORT is also readily available.
Syracuse Glass has been manufacturing insulating glass since 1972, and dual seal insulating glass with LISEC vertical equipment since 1989. In 2002, Syracuse Glass acquired a UNIGLASS convection tempering furnace, the second such furnace in North America. Convection furnaces are required to temper these challenging post-temperable “soft-coated” glass products without excessive distortion.
Since 2003, Syracuse Glass has produced insulating glass with Guardian’s SN-68 solar control low emissivity glass for applications where high light transmission and high control of solar heat gain are called for. This product is an equal performer to PPG’s Solarban 60 or Viracon’s VE1-2M. We can also provide SN-68 as an inboard lite with a tinted or reflective outboard lite where a colored appearance is desired.
Under the Sunguard Select Fabricator Program, we can now offer SN-54, the second option in Guardian’s Super Neutral Series, as well as seven additional coating options in their High Performance Series.
For more information or a personal visit, call us, or visit www.SunGuardGlass.com, or our website’s insulating glass technical area, which contains a product catalog and competitor comparison chart.

GUARDIAN SHOWERGUARD AVAILABLE FROM SYRACUSE GLASS
Syracuse Glass is pleased to be among an elite group of glass fabricators to offer Guardian ShowerGuard – an innovative coated glass product designed especially for frameless shower applications.
ShowerGuard glass contains a PERMANENT surface coating that is easy to clean, chemically durable, and optically transparent. Guardian’s patented ion beam process uses diamond-like carbon to produce a temperable coating that keeps minerals, scale, and soap scum from adhering to the glass surface.
ShowerGuard is a great choice for residential as well as commercial hospitality applications where glass appearance and cleaning effort are of concern.
Syracuse Glass is offering ShowerGuard in 3/8” and ½” thickness, with the flatness and quality made possible by our Uniglass convection tempering furnace.

SYRACUSE GLASS BECOMES A WARM-LIGHT ® CERTIFIED FABRICATOR
Syracuse Glass Company and thermal barrier industry leader Azon USA, Inc. have aligned to provide improved performance in commercial insulating glass. As a Warm-Light certified fabricator, Syracuse Glass can offer a state-of-the-art "warm edge" insulating glass spacer alternative. Warm-Light is a structural thermal barrier insulating glass spacer that combines aluminum with a polyurethane core, a design similar to thermally broken storefront and curtain wall members that Azon's pour and debridge process has been used to provide our industry for many years.
At last, building owners and design professionals can select a "warm edge" product that is designed with commercial insulating glass in mind, and the large glass sizes and thicker, heavier glass components required, without sacrificing the structural integrity requirements of insulating glass spacers. Seal longevity also need not be compromised because the Warm-Light spacer is designed to be bent with Lisec bending equipment. Syracuse Glass Company customers can count on the world class all bent corner, dual seal design and the resulting superior seal performance.
Consider selecting Azon Warm-Light spacers where the highest levels of thermal performance and condensation resistance are required. You will improve the site line temperature of the inside surface of a Low-E insulating glass unit about seven degrees, improve the site line Condensation Resistance Factor by about 24%, and improve the total U value of the window from about 1 to 4 points depending on size.
Contact us for more information, samples, or a personal visit to discuss the merits of this most interesting innovation in commercial insulating glass in many years, now available with the fast lead times and the high quality you expect from us at Syracuse Glass. |

SN-68 SOLAR CONTROL LOW E AVAILABLE FROM SYRACUSE GLASS
Syracuse Glass has been certified by Guardian Industries as a fabricator of Guardian's high performance solar control low e product - Super Neutral 68.
Super Neutral 68, or SN-68, is a state-of-the-art "soft" coated product, produced at Guardian's Geneva, NY plant. It has the performance that today's architects and building owners are looking for:
CLEAR APPEARANCE - When insulated with ¼" clear glass, SN-68 allows 68% light transmission compared to 73% for regular 1" clear insulating units!
SOLAR CONTROL - SN-68 has a shading coefficient of .43 when insulated with ¼" clear glass. That's about equal to the performance of a bronze Solarcool reflective I.G. unit, and that's pretty remarkable for glass that looks clear. When combined with a tinted outboard lite, the solar control properties can be further enhanced. Building owners love this feature - it means lower air conditioning bills and greater occupant comfort.
THERMAL PERFORMANCE - This product has a nighttime U value of .29 with an air filled airspace, compared to .33 for our traditional "hard coat" low e, about a 14% increase in thermal value.
This product offering has benefits for you, our valued customer too, in that WE CAN CUSTOM TEMPER THE PRODUCT ON SITE . This eliminates the long lead times, boxing costs, and freight costs many times associated with high performance architectural insulating glass product orders.
These temperable soft coated products are really amazing, the result of a lot of research and development efforts by many in our industry. SN-68 is an equal product to Viracon's VE1-2M or PPG's Solarban 60. These products are challenging to work with as a fabricator because of their delicate nature, and the way they resist heating during the tempering process. But our people and our high tech UNIGLASS convection tempering furnace are up to the task.
Count on us at Syracuse Glass to provide a product that meets or exceeds Guardian's standards that you can feel confident in using on your architectural projects. |
