What windows will you want - Solar Guard Screens installed?
 Specialty Screen Wire - CRL Solar Screen Wire has a superior design that blocks up to 75 percent of the sun's heat and glare, yet still offers superb outward visibility. It's comprised of ultra-strong vinyl coated polyester yarn that is formulated to withstand solar abuse. CRL Solar Screen Wire drastically cuts down on air conditioning costs, and at the same time reduces sun fading on the interior. Unlike window films, it keeps working even when windows are open, allowing fresh air in while keeping insects out. It is available in four colours; bronze, charcoal, gold and gray.

What do you need to know about window glazing before making a purchase?
-
| Double Glazed (clear) | A standard choice, combining high visibility and solar heat gain with a low-cost index. |
Triple Glazed(clear)
| An excellent choice to block out street noises, maintain visibility and solar heat gain. Reduces condensation in homes with higher humidity levels in cold weather. | | Double Glazed(low-E. Argon gas) | A lighter window than a triple glazed window which allows for larger venting window units, good visibility, reduces condensation and blocks out summer sun. | | Triple Glazed(low-E. Argon gas) | Excellent heat retention, visibility and sound proofing. Blocks some solar heat gain. Glass surfaces warmer in winter and condensation is dramatically reduced. | | Triple Glazed(two surfaces of low-E. Argon gas) | Outstanding heat retention in winter. Blocks out summer sun, creating a cooler interior. Reduces street noise. Condensation is almost eliminated. | | Double Glazed(Ti-R low-E. Argon gas) | North America's best low-E. Ideally suited for climates where heating and cooling are required. Blocks out a high degree of summer sun and keeps in more winter heat while still allowing high visibility. | | Triple Glazed(Ti-R low-E. Argon gas) | Has the same benefits as double glazed units with even higher insulating value and sound reduction. Keeps the glass surface cooler in summer and warmer in winter. | | Triple Glazed(two surfaces Ti-R low-E. Argon gas) | Maximum Performance. The best ratings on insulating values. Retains interior warmth in winter and helps promote cooler glass surfaces in summer. |
