shower guard or cardinal 10 coating for shower door?
Comments (4)Showerguard is a product made by Guardian that is actually in the glass as the glass is manufactured and carries a lifetime warranty. Cardinal 10 is an aftermarket product that is applied at the shower manufacturers facility and carries a 10 year warranty. The price difference is generally about 50% more for the showerguard and while it is universally known as a better product the decision is your as to wether or not you spend the extra money. A coating is in my opinion is definitely a good choice just up to you which to go with. I happen to work for a architectural glass and aluminum company and sell both as well as Diamon Fusion just so everyone knows my angle and am not spam!...See MoreNeed a good trim paint (like Cab Coat) for dark colors
Comments (1)Part of the "trick" with ANY daaarrrrkk "Cabinet-type" paints (as I mentioned on the other thread...), is the colorant load. Lots of colorant cures-out slooowwwly. Only a few paints are "somewhat" immune to this, the first being FPE's ECO. (NOTE: I'm in ND and had a Euro-Qt. of FPE sent here! FPE's headquarters is Woodstock Vermont. You're pretty close!)

Comments (7)Swampwiz, For simplicity I would consider 366 for every window in your home except for the window where you want to protect your grand piano. For that window I would agree with 240. In addition to the 240, I would consider using laminated glass. The combination of 240 and laminated glass will result in blocking 99.9% of damaging UV rays as well as blocking a percentage of visible light which also contributes to fading and "light" damage. There would be a cost upgrade for including a laminated lite in your glass package, but in your situation I would consider it well worth the additional investment. 240 is a "tinted" coating, but if you want it even darker you can get a tinted laminate - either glass or interlayer as part of the IG including the 240 coated lite. So far as cost difference for different coatings, you may find that it is ultimately more expensive to mix and match coatigs than to go with a single coating for all of your windows. Some window companies are already using 366 as their "standard" coating and while I don't know specifically what either Kolbe or Monarch may charge for a 366 upgrade (if anything) - your best bet is to simply ask them what they charge for upgrading to the 366 coating. Negotiate - see what they will do for you....See MoreMilgard SunCoatMax (tint?) too dark? VLT? Triple glaze?
Comments (3)Compare the VT ratings on the two glass pack options and that will tell you which unit provides more natural light. In this case the SunCoat Max (Low-e 366) will give you more light as compared to triple pane. It will not be as thermally efficient but if light is your concern, the SunCoat Max option is the better of the two. Triple glazed does mean triple pane....See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years ago
