Introduction to Low-E Glass

Low-E glass, or low emissivity glass, is a type of glass that is designed to reduce the amount of heat that is transferred through it. This is achieved by applying a special coating to the glass that reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it.

How Low-E Glass Works

• Reduces heat transfer: The coating on low-E glass reflects radiant heat, keeping it inside the home during the winter and outside during the summer.
• Decreases energy consumption: By reducing heat transfer, low-E glass can help to decrease energy consumption and lower utility bills.
• Minimizes UV damage: The coating on low-E glass also blocks ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause furniture and carpets to fade over time.

Benefits of Low-E Glass

• Energy efficiency: Low-E glass can help to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills.
• Comfort: Low-E glass can help to maintain a consistent temperature in the home, reducing hot and cold spots.
• Durability: Low-E glass is also more durable than regular glass, with a longer lifespan and less prone to damage.
