Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 Apr 11, 2011 8:29 pm Our windows have been installed today and we have upgraded to green tint comfort plus. How do you tell that they are comfort plus? My DH doesn't think they "feel" thick enough. Any sure fire way to know would be great??!! Re: Comfort Plus - how do you tell? 2Apr 15, 2011 9:59 pm Obviously (probably) not much use to you, But we were wandering around (someone elses) building recently, and I did happen to notice that their just-installed windows had stickers on them. I do recall that the stickers said what sort of glass it was, but the reason I saw them in the first place was that the stickers (on the side that I could see from the outside of the house) fortunately said, "This side faces out". What I was really saying was the windows had come from the manufacturer with labels on them, if DH is really worried he could phone up the (alleged) supplier and ask them what (if any) labels should of been on the windows from the factory .............

Set the mulitmeter to show a continuity tone and put the probes on the glass. As LowE has a metallic properly it will make a closed link between the probes and the multimeter should make a tone. Its worthwhile to check both sides of the glass, ideally it would be on the inside. Hope this helps Mike Re: Comfort Plus - how do you tell? 5May 17, 2011 2:00 pm ....and they're a pain to clean on the inside where the tint is. I only use clear Windex on mine, you will feel a drag when you wipe them. Also don't use a scourer on them for any reason. Lots of rules to follow which can be found on the internet. Re: Comfort Plus - how do you tell? 7Jun 06, 2011 9:07 am With a bit of luck it should say on the glass compliance sticker what type of glass it is. Im not sure what the regulations are where you are but I would imagine that they follow AS1288 (unless there has been a recent update). If you put it next to normal glass you can see a slight colour variation also. There is still nothing to say that the sticker is correct so if you are concerned I would definitely check (I have seen where a ******* glazier ran out of 6.38 lam so when glazing a door put in 2 squares of 3mm back to back and still was stupid enough to whack his own sticker on it with business name and all). As previously mentioned this stuff is extremely hard to clean. In the case of a laminated piece which is probably the most common used here, the 4th surface is the one that has the organic coating. Under a microscope the surface looks like velcro which is why there is a drag when you wipe across it and also there are lots of tiny spots for dirt and grime to hide. Im not sure why but to me common sense would be to make it the 3rd surface where the laminate is so that cleaning isnt an issue. There must be a reason though why though as it is too simple of a solution. If I were you I would getting a copy of the Comfort Plus brochure which should be available on the net somewhere and find out exactly what they suggest you clean it with otherwise you might void any warranty. 1000000% definitely add insulation.
