High Performance Solutions to Meet Your Needs
Guardian ThermaGuard Europe
ThermaGuard glass sets new standards for performance and aesthetics in commercial refrigeration.
Efficient Performance ThermaGuard low-emissivity (low-E) glass and insulating glass units (IGUs) keep refrigeration units cool and efficient—so retailers use less energy and save operating costs. ThermaGuard glass supports Energy Star, EPA and EISA compliance.
Clear Views ThermaGuard glass creates an optimal shopping experience.With enhanced light transmission, virtually no reflection, and resistance to the scratches and scuffs of daily wear, ThermaGuard eliminates barriers between shoppers and the goods.
Outstanding Service As one of the world’s leading glass manufacturers, Guardian is uniquely positioned to satisfy high volume, high quality refrigeration glass and IGU demands. With several fabrication options, thicknesses and dimensions available, ThermaGuard glass and IGUs can be made to order to suit your exact specifications. We’d love to learn about your project and collaborate on a custom solution. Our engineers, suppliers, sample systems and online tools will support you from concept to completion.
HOLD COLD, SEE SAVINGS Reduce cooling costs and improve the view with ThermaGuard by Guardian.
