NFRC Rated:

PRL’s Max System has an NFRC report available (report #: SIM140-048). The report is based on a 79” x 79” OX sliding door unit and evaluates the U-Factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) and Visible Light Transmittance (VT) obtained using various insulated glass (IG) configurations.

Best performance was obtained using ¼” SNX-6227 Low E glass over ¼” solar grey glass with ½” argon filled air spacer (.53 UF, .22 SHGC, and .46 VT). Similar results with greater Visible Light Transmittance (VT) can be obtained using clear glass in lieu of grey.

Please see below for a better understanding of what this report determines:

U-Factor: Measures the heat from inside a room that can escape. The lower the number, the better.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): Measures the amount of solar heat entering a room. The lower the number, the better.

Visible Transmittance (VT): Refers to the amount of visible light entering through a window.

NFRC = National Fenestration Rating Council
