Queensland based glazing consumables and hardware supplier, NFK, recently expanded its product range to offer specialised glass performance measurement tools from US company EDTM (Electronic Design to Market). The innovative range enables testing of glass performance properties, U values, digital thicknesses of singles panes, IGUs and more.
The Window Energy Profiler is a portable device that can test in-frame windows and provide measurements on the estimated SHGC value along with the UV, Visible Light, and Infrared Transmission values.
“The Profiler has a large enough opening to fit over the window sash of an installed window,” says NFK Managing Director, Hayden Kemp. “This allows the properties of existing windows to be measured and the necessity for replacement windows to be determined.”
The Glass-Chek PRO digital glass thickness meter and Low E Detector offers multiple capabilities, including the ability to measure glass, air space and IG thickness of triple pane units with the push of a button. The tool can also detect a Low E coating on any surface of a double pane window from a single side, meaning there’s no need to check both sides of the window; a major advantage for multi storey buildings where there is only access to the inside of the window. The Glass-Chek PRO provides metric readings to the nearest 0.1mm. 
“These tools can really highlight the capabilities of high performance glass products to consumers,” says Hayden. “Glass companies can easily demonstrate the difference between say a high performance coated glass and a standard clear annealed glass, allowing the consumer to see the difference in energy transmission rates based on different products.”
