Replacement Windows - energy saving windows

Jan. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Like many folks, you may not have heard of a Super Saver Windows until now. Super Saver Windows uses the same principle as your refrigerator door. The patented magnetic edging holds a clear sheet of optical grade acrylic (like in an airplane) against a frame installed on the jamb of your window. Here are some of the properties of our product.

Insulation properties of Super Saver Windows
U-value of .48 in combination with single pane window, as determined by John M. Yellott Laboratories, Arizona, in tests performed August 5, 1982

Air infiltration properties of Super Saver Windows
Heat loss reduction of 412.5 btu/hr/ft sq (from 687.0 to 274.5) when applied to single pane window. 60% net reduction of heat transfer. As determined by Architectural Testing Inc. York, PA, in tests performed January 28, 1985

Sound control properties of Super Saver Windows
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 method. Similar results at the John M. Yellott Laboratories, above.

UV control properties of Super Saver Windows
STC rating improves from 18 to 28 when Magnetite is added to single hung window. 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.

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-0.7 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)
