Low E Glass
Low E coatings are a major factor in the performance of a sealed unit. There are many Low E coating options. The common one are the passive low-e coatings and solar control low-e coatings.
- Passive low-e coatings are designed to maximize solar heat gain into a home or building to create the effect of “passive” heating and reducing reliance on artificial heating.
- Solar control low-e coatings are designed to limit the amount of solar heat that passes into a home or building for the purpose of keeping buildings cooler and reducing energy consumption related to air conditioning.
Why Use Low Emissivity Glass?
Low-E glass performs best when you precisely know the value table to help you choose the right application. It hence becomes important for the glazing contractor to provide samples. As the final product may have a different look. You can use LOW E glasses in windows, doors, curtain walls, skylights, and glass facades, providing a balance between natural light transmission and insulation. Its unique coating reflects heat back to its source, making it an ideal choice for climates with both hot summers and cold winters.
