Ratings are for products using 1/8" (3 mm) glass, 13.0 mm spacer and a 3/4" (19 mm) wide grille profile. Ratings for other glass constructions can be found at www.andersenwindows.com.
"High-Performance Low-E4" (HP Low-E4), "High-Performance Low-E4 SmartSun" (HP Low-E4 SmartSun) and "High-Performance Low-E4 Sun" (HP Low-E4 Sun) are Andersen trademarks for "Low-E" glass. 1 U-Factor defines
the amount of heat loss through the total unit in BTU/hr sq. ft2.F. The lower the value, the less heat is lost through the entire product. Window values represent non-tempered glass. Use of tempered glass can increase
U-Factor ratings. See andersenwindows.com for specific performance values. Door values represent tempered glass. 2 Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) defines the fraction of solar radiation admitted through the glass both
directly transmitted and absorbed and subsequently released inward. The lower the value, the less heat is transmitted through the product. 3 Visible Transmittance (VT) measures how much light comes through a product
(glass and frame). The higher the value, from 0 to 1, the more daylight the product lets in over the products total unit area. Visible Transmittance is measured over the 380 to 760 nanometer portion of the solar spectrum.
NFRC ratings are based on modeling by a third party agency as validated by an independent test lab in compliance with NFRC program and procedural requirements. This data is accurate as of April, 2012. Due to ongoing
product changes, updated test results, or new industry standards or requirements, this data may change over time. Ratings are for sizes specified by NFRC for testing and certification. Ratings may vary depending on use of
tempered glass, different grille options, glass for high altitudes, etc.
