• PROBLEMS:
  
• OVERHEATING
  
• PLANTS BURN
  
• HIGH COOLING COST
  
• REQUIRES ADDITIONAL WATERING CYCLES
  
• POLYCARBONATE SCRATCHES EASY
• POLYCARBONATE WILL TURN YELLOW
• SHADE CLOTH REQUIRED

• THE SOLUTION:
• OVERHEATING PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED BY USING A COMBINATION OF VERY LOW RELATIVE HEAT GAIN GLASS.
  
• HERMETICALLY SEALED
• INSULATED GLASS
  
• MC LOW E GLASS AVAILABLE
  
• HELPS CONTROL COOLING COST,
  
• REQUIRES FEWER WATERING CYLCES

• PROBLEMS:
  
• DRAFTS, COLD FEELING - WINTER INVISIBLE GLASS TEMPERATURE (COLUMN I)
  
• CONDENSATION FORMS ON GLASS - INSIDE DEW POINT (COLUMN J)
  
• HEAT ESCAPES WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE - WINTER R-VALUE (COLUMN L)
  
• THESE PROBLEMS ARE COMMON WITH OUR COMPETITION’S GLASS THAT CAUSE DRAFTS, CONDENSATION AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF HEAT LOSS. DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN - CORRECT TEMPERATURE HIGH HEATING COST.
  

• THE SOLUTION:
  
• DRAFTS ELIMATED BY USING A WINTER INSIDE GLASS TEMPETATURE OF 57`OR HIGHER (COLUMN I) (WARMER FEELING)
  
• HIGH RESISTENCE TO CONDENSATION WITH AN INSIDE DEW POINT OF –2 OR LOWER (COLUMN J)
  
• HIGHER INSULATION R-VALUE KEEPS HEAT IN THEREBY LOWERING YOUR HEATING & COOLING COSTS.
  
• FLORIAN OFFERS SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR GLAZING TO MEET ANY BUDGET AND REQUIREMENTS. SEE FOLLOWING HIGH PERFORMANCE GLAZING CHART.

B - "Glazing description" - A description of the components used to obtain the glazing unit being described.

C - "Upcharge over clear" Insulated - Multiply the number in this column by the total square footage of option desired, and add to the base price of a standard unit with clear glass.

D - "Unit Availability" - Glass is available as a standard in the units specified in this column. G- Geneva greenhouse and greenhouse kit, S- Sierra sun room, sun room kits and solarium, W- Woodhaven solarium & sun room.

E - "Shading co-efficient" - Multiplier for the amount of solar gain entering through the glass. For example: a piece of glass with a shading co-efficient of .85 would let in 85% if the solar gain that would travel through a 1/8" piece of clear glass.

F - "Relative heat gain" - The measurable amount of energy which penetrates the glass is expressed in terms of BTU's of heat gain per hour per square foot of glass area.

G - "% Visible light transmittance" - The percentage of light in the visible spectrum, that is directly transmitted through the glass.

H - "% UV light transmittance" - Percentage of ultra-violet radiation transmitted through the glass.

I - "Inside the glass temp" - The temperature of the inside surface of the glass in degrees F when the following ashrae conditions exist. Outside temperature of 0 degrees F with a 15mph wind, and inside temperature of 70 degrees F.

J - "Inside dew point" - The outside temperature in degrees F that will cause condensation on the inside surface of the glass. This number assumes an inside relative humidity of 60% and a temperature of 70 degrees F.

K - "Winter U value" - The total heat transfer co-efficient which is the measure of heat loss through the glass due to a difference between indoor and outdoor air temperatures. The lower the U value, the better the insulating properties of the glass. (BTU/HR/SQFT/F).

L - "Winter R value" - The resistance to heat loss through the glass. The higher the R value, The better the insulating properties. (R=1/U).
