Nova is unique in the fiberglass door industry because we work with our customers to provide the specific glass which is required for their individual project. Options and benefits Nova offers that you cannot find from any other fiberglass door manufacturer include:
Solar Tuning
Maximize your home’s energy efficiency with Nova’s wide selection of LoE coatings tailored for optimal solar tuning. We collaborate with you to customize the solar tuning based on your region’s specific climate and exposure, ensuring your doors are perfectly tuned for their environment.
3.9 MM Glass
Nova offers 3.9 MM glass standard. 3.9 MM glass provides increased strength, security, and sound reduction versus the industry standard of 3.0 MM.
Preserve Film
Standard on all glazed Nova doors, Preserve film provides a comprehensive solution to protect your glass from dirt and scratches during installation. Simply remove the Preserve film at the end of your project to reveal spotless, pristine doors.
1/4" Tempered
Our team partners with architects and contractors to provide the precise glass required for your project, including 1/4″ tempered glass lites. This is a common choice for commercial applications, known for its durability and safety.
PVB Laminate Glass
PVB laminated glass offers enhanced safety and superior sound reduction for your Nova doors. When laminated glass breaks, the PVB interlayer holds the glass fragments in place, preventing them from falling out. This creates a robust barrier against forced entry, as it cannot be easily cut from one side, rendering glass cutters ineffective. Additionally, laminated glass significantly reduces unwanted outside noise through its multi-layered structure, which effectively dampens sound waves.
Cardinal LoE-180 delivers excellent cold weather performance with an impressive insulation value (U-factor) of just 0.26. Its high solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.69 allows the winter sun’s warmth to pass into your home while blocking 71 percent of the sun’s harmful UV rays and letting in natural daylight.
Experience the year-round benefits of LoE-366. This advanced coating is designed to reject solar heat while maintaining clear, attractive visibility. LoE-366 keeps the heat out during summer and allows light to enter, making it our top-performing glass for clarity and energy efficiency among Cardinal’s clear-coated products.
Enhance your Nova door’s performance with an additional LoE coating on the interior surface of the glazing. The i89 LoE hard-coat boosts full-frame energy performance by an average of 0.03 U, although there may be a slight reduction in condensation resistance. This extra layer ensures superior energy efficiency for your doors.
