Data is indicative only. Data is for glazing placed vertically. Data is not a guarantee of in service performance. Tdw-ISO is a damage-weighted transmittance from the International Standards Organisation (ISO) based on the contribution to fading at each wavelength from 300nm to 700nm that include the UV and Visible parts of the solar spectrum. U-value and g-value calculated using CEN conditions, balance of data calculated using NFRC conditions. For Passive House and Homestar ECCHO use g-value/Solar Factor.
