We’re excited to announce our new Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) and U-Factor Calculator!
The SHGC and U-Factor Calculator provides direct access to our current thermal values through a quick and easy-to-navigate platform. With this tool, you can obtain energy performance details for specific PGT products or search for PGT products that meet required energy numbers.
Products may be filtered based on a variety of factors, such as:
- Specific energy performance numbers (U-Factor and SHGC)
- General product features (such as Product Style, Frame Material and Impact Resistance)
- Product options that impact energy efficiency (such as Air Fill Type, Glass Color, and Grid Type)
- Certain code requirements that need to be met (such as Turtle Code, Florida Energy Code, and Energy Star Zones)
This tool is available 24-hours a day, so you can access the information you need when it’s convenient for you.
With these details readily available, you can also compare energy performance numbers for specific PGT products with or without energy-enhancing options as a way to help homeowners understand the impact that options such as Low-E, Argon gas, and grids have on energy efficiency.
