BUILDING WITH LIGHT. That’s what SunGuard Advanced Architectural Glass
from Guardian is all about. Our comprehensive range of coatings, colors and design
solutions allows architects to explore fully the aesthetic and functional possibilities of
light — both interior and exterior — while meeting complex energy and performance
requirements. Drawing on the cumulative expertise of glassmakers and production
teams throughout the world, Guardian continually applies science and cutting-edge
technology to the development of new SunGuard products that expand the limits
of performance. This level of commitment extends locally to independent Guardian
Select® Fabricators, who are trained and certified by Guardian to provide highquality coated glass products. In these pages you will see the many ways Guardian

SuperNeutral Series
®
NATURAL LIGHT, NEUTRAL COLOR AND SOLAR PERFORMANCE
SNX 62/27 & SNX 51/23
utilize advanced triple-silver technology to offer very low solar heat
gain coefficients on clear glass - 0.27 and 0.23 respectively, with exceptional light-to-solar-gain ratios of
2.30 and 2.18. SNX 62/27 reflects neutral color, SNX 51/23 is light blue – both provide superior solar control
and excellent energy performance.
SuperNeutral 68
transmits the most light and has the most neutral appearance of any SunGuard
product. It can also be laminated to deliver sound attenuation, security, safety and hurricane protection.
SuperNeutral 54
combines a neutral appearance with exceptional solar-energy control to strike
the perfect balance between natural daylight, glare control and energy savings. This product exceeds
most energy code requirements with a SHGC of 0.28 in a standard 1” insulating glass unit.
SNR 43
has a light silver-blue appearance, a super-low SHGC of 0.23 on clear float glass and a
1.88 light-to-solar gain (LSG) ratio. Slightly reflective, SNR 43 is a great choice for all types of commercial
projects and provides an excellent vision to spandrel match.
SuperNeutral on specialty glass, tints and the #3 surface
For a stunning, ultra-clear appearance combined with superior energy efficiency, all SuperNeutral
products are available with Guardian’s UltraClear™ float glass. UltraClear’s virtual absence of color is perfect
for applications where neutral color and increased clarity are desired.
SuperNeutral products are also available on Guardian’s Green, TwilightGreen®, CrystalBlue™,
CrystalGray® and gray tinted float glass. Combined with SuperNeutral coatings, Guardian tints offer lower
reflectance, reduced glare and improved solar control.
All SunGuard SuperNeutral coatings are designed to be used on the #2 surface of an insulating glass
unit. In addition, SN 68 and SNX 62/27 can also be used on the #3 surface in conjunction
with a tinted or coated outboard lite.

for SunGuard coatings—providing a close match to vision glass or a complementary
color—by using
SunGuard Spandrel HT back painted glass.
Spandrel HT is a
lead-free, proprietary coating system that provides a smooth, uniform appearance after
heat-treatment and has the characteristics of a ceramic frit, permanently fusing to the
glass surface. To harmonize or contrast with the vision glass area and provide long lasting
beauty to your architectural projects, SunGuard Spandrel HT is available in three commonly
specified colors: White, Black, and Warm Gray.
We recommend that full-size mock-ups be prepared and approved to confirm the most
desirable spandrel option for your specific project.

All coatings are on the #2 surface unless noted otherwise.
Guardian performance data are calculated for center-of-glass only (no spacer or framing) in accordance with the LBNL Window 7 program.
Relative Heat Gain, Shading Coefficient, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient and/or LSG may change slightly when using argon gas fill.
Glass may require heat strengthening or tempering to resist potential thermal stresses. SNR 43 must be heat-treated.
A slight shift in visible light reflectance or transmission may be noticed after heat-treatment.
Guardian recommends edge deletion for all commercial low-E coatings.
