Our Highest Performing Double-Glazed Unit to date.

Some seek nothing but the finest. So, when it comes to renovating your home or undertaking a new architectural endeavor why settle for anything but the best? If compromise isn’t quiet your thing, our DGU Max range should be your first and only choice when selecting which double glazing will give you the highest standards of comfort, efficiency and natural light.

Through harnessing the power of LightTech LI Max, DGU Max is our highest performing double glazed unit to date.

Insulation Improvement

%

A warmer space in winter.

As temperatures drop outside, the DGU Max range offers unparalleled insulation properties that keep your home comfortable and energy efficient, even in the coldest months.

With insulation capabilities 77% more effective than standard single glazing, DGU Max ensures that precious warmth remains trapped indoors where it belongs. This also means for lower heating costs over those colder months, making your home more energy efficient.

Solar Control Improvement

A cooler space in summer.

The state of Victoria experiences warm summers, meaning keeping your home cool whilst outdoor temperatures rise is essential.

DGU Max transforms your space allowing for an abundance of natural light whilst keeping cooling costs down and indoor comfort high.

Offering an exceptional 62% increase in solar control, DGU Max not only meets but exceeds the demands of 7-star modern design.

Total Transparency

Ensures crystal clear views with high transparency, offering unobstructed visibility and visual appeal.

See the Difference

Traditionally, achieving a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) rating similiar to that of DGU Max required using Super Grey glass, which only permits 9% visible light, drastically reducing natural light and impairing views. With DGU Max, you enjoy a remarkable 70% visible light transition, ensuring your spaces are filled with natural light while maintaining energy efficiency.

Performance Data

All DGU Max units feature LightTech LI Max as the primary pane. This triple silver low iron glass provides superior energy efficiency and clarity. Designed to maximise insulation and light transmission, it’s ideal for homes focused on optimising thermal comfort and reducing energy consumption. Below is the detailed performance data for comparison.

  • Calculation method: LBNL WINDOW Calc Engine v2.4.0, Optics 6.0
  • Environmental Condition: NFRC 100-2000
  • Results are for center-of-glass; does not include effect of frames
  • Location of LowE coating is indicated with surface number
    • #1 indicates exterior surface, #4 indicates the interior surface in a typical double-glazed unit

Tilt

Tilt-angle (°)

Angle of the glass relative to the horizon

  • Typical skylights with a slight pitch: 3-5°
  • Typical windows in vertical walls: 90°
Ug.w

Ug (W/m².K)

Heat-transfer coefficient (center-of-glass)

  • Heat transfer (W) per square meter (m²) of glass for each degree (C) of temperature difference
  • Lower implies better insulation

.w

NFRC 100-2010 Winter Condition

  • The standard environmental condition for Ug quoted in the Window industry
  • Useful as a reference for performance comparison between different glazing systems but can lead to inaccuracies if used to estimate energy consumption
  • Inside Condition:
    • Air and effective room temperature: 21 deg C
    • Room emissivity: 1
  • Outside Condition:
    • Air and effective sky temperature: -18 deg C
    • Effective sky emissivity: 1
    • Convection coefficient: 26 W/m².K
    • Wind speed: 5.5m/s windward

  • Heat transfer (W) per square meter (m²) of glass for each degree (C) of temperature difference
  • Lower implies better insulation

.s

NFRC 100-2010 Summer Condition

  • The condition used to calculate SHGC
  • Ug.s better represents performance in warm environmental conditions
  • Inside Condition:
    • Air and effective room temperature: 24 deg C

SHGC

SHGC (Range: 0 – 1)

Solar heat gain coefficient

  • Proportion of solar heat radiation transmitted
  • Generally lower SHGC is desirable for north and west facing windows for reducing air-conditioning cost in summer
  • However, higher SHGC for north and west facing windows would help reduce heating cost in winter
VLT

VLT (Range: 0 – 1)

Visible light transmittance

  • Proportion of visible light (380 - 720nm) transmitted
  • Generally higher VLT is more desirable
VLRf

VLRf (Range: 0 – 1)

Front Visible light reflectance

  • Proportion of visible light reflected on the external side of the IGU
VLRb

VLRb (Range: 0 – 1)

Back Visible light reflectance

  • Proportion of visible light reflected on the room side of the IGU
Tdw

Tdw-ISO (Range: 0 – 1)

Damage weighted transmittance

  • Proportion of colour fading radiation transmitted
  • Lower Tdw-ISO means lower risk of colour fading
  • Accounts for the colour fading potential of both UV and visible spectrum
Tuv

Tuv (Range: 0 – 1)

UV transmittance

  • Proportion of UV radiation (280 - 380nm) transmitted (Range: 0 – 1)
  • Not recommended as a metric for assessing colour fading potential
  • Visible spectrum could account for as much as 40% of the fading from solar radiation
Sel.

Selectivity (VLT/SHGC)

Ratio of visible light transmittance over solar heat gain coefficient

  • Useful for comparing spectral selectiveness of the low-E coating
  • Higher selectivity means less visible light is sacrificed to lower solar heat gain

Example:

  • Sel. in the 0.5 - 0.8 range results from the use of Grey glass; less visible light is transmitted vs infrared radiation
  • Sel. in the 1.9 - 2.2 range results from the use of LightTech LI Max; less infrared radiation is transmitted vs visible light
