Precedence® Replacement Window Options & Accessories

Optional Neat Coating

All Precedence replacement windows are available with optional Neat coating, a special exterior surface coating from Cardinal Industries that renders windows virtually self-cleaning. Silicon dioxide fills in the microscopic pits found on all glass surfaces. This super-smooth window enables water to sheet rather than bead, leaving the surface almost spotless as it dries. A titanium dioxide coating reacts with UV light (even on cloudy days) to dissolve carbon-based and organic material. When water hits the window, the sheeting action simply washes away the decomposed dirt.

Ordinary Glass (Hydrophobic)
Water beads higher on rough surface of ordinary glass, causing more spots and greater cleaning needs.
Neat Lo-E Glass (Superhydrophilic)
The smooth surface disperses water evenly and dirt more quickly, reducing water spots.
