Super Saver Windows have been reigorously tested by independent laboratories on every aspect of performance, over a span of twenty years.
Insulation
U-vlue of .48 in combination with single pane windows, as determined by John M. Yellott Laboratories, Arizona, in tests performed August 5, 1982.
Heat loss reduction of 412.5 btu/hr/ft sq (from 687.0 to 274.5) when applied to single pane windows. 60% net reduction of heat transfer. As determined by Architechtural Testing Inc. York, PA, in tests performed January 28, 1985.
Air Infiltration Less than .01 cfm/lineal foot of crack space, compared to DOE standard for storm windows of 2.0 Tested with 25 mph wind equivalent at The Associated Laboratories, Dallas, using ASTM E-283 test methosd. Similar results at the John M. Yellott laboratories, above.
Sound Control
STC rating improves from 18 to 28 when Magnetite is added to single hung windows. 19.2 sound decibel reduction, effective reduction of over 70%. Particularly effective in 1000 Hz range. As determined by Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories, Illinois, in tests performed April 22, 1988.
UV Control
Ultraviolet light waves between 300 and 355 reduced by 99.1% when passing through acrylic sheet. UV light waves between 360 and 375 reduced by 66.2%. As determined by DSET Laboratories, Inc. Phoenix, in tests performed October 31, 1986.
Glass versus Acrylic Thermal Resistance Comparison
Glass 5 to 6 btu/hr/sqft/F, according to CRC Handbook of Chemistry. Acrylic .7 to 1.7 btu/hr/sqft/F, according to Handbook of Plastics, (indicates that acrylic is 3 to 8 times more thermally insulating than glass).
Seals Magnetically Over Existing Windows - Benefits Over Replacements
Many products offer energy saving solutions to your home but none better than an acrylic window boost for your existing windows. Here are several reasons why acrylic is a superior product compared to ordinary glass.
Acrylic is much stronger and lighter as construction material than glass. A quality acrylic is ultra clear plastic and offers shock absorption properties. It can absorb shock and pressure and is widely used in today's commerical airline windows. In the event that acrylic is damaged, it will not shatter like glass leaving sharp pieces. This is an important safety factor when it comes to home construction. The material is also easy to work with in terms of shaping cutting or drilling.
Not only is acrylic better for usage when it comes to storm type window that is removable for it's lightness and portability but it is scratch resistant and most importantly it offers far superior insulation properties.
Acrylic also provides better sound proofing when installed into your house as a replacement windows or storm windows bolstering your existing replacement windows or windows. Due to its ability to absorb shock, this material is able to contain sound better than glass.
Acrylic consists of fibers that are made from polymer. The fibers are extremely lightweight and durable. The windows that are used in aircrafts are made of acrylic. They may also be known as Plexiglas. Acrylic panels provide the optimum noise reduction for a noisy location.
