FIGHT WINTER'S HEAT LOSS

During winter's fury, the use of Milgard SunCoatMAX™ increases the glass surface temperature at the center of each window in your home. This is important for your winter-time comfort. In fact, the 'Efficient Windows Collaborative' (www.efficientwindows.org) suggests that when glass surface temperatures fall below 52°F, there is risk of thermal discomfort. Ordinarily, 75% of a window's exposed surface is glass, and the interior glass temperature affects your room's air temperature.
