Low-E Glass

Low-E Glass, also called low-emissivity glass was created to minimize the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that comes through your glass, without minimizing the amount of light that enters your home. Low-E glass windows have a microscopically thin coating that is transparent and reflects heat. The coating is even thinner than human hair! The Low-E coatings keep the temperature in your home consistent by reflecting the interior temperatures back inside.

Basic Information

Low-E Glass, also called low-emissivity glass was created to minimize the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that comes through your glass, without minimizing the amount of light that enters your home. Low-E glass windows have a microscopically thin coating that is transparent and reflects heat. The coating is even thinner than human hair! The Low-E coatings keep the temperature in your home consistent by reflecting the interior temperatures back inside.

Features

1.Filter out ultraviolet rays that are harmful to skin, hamper furniture quality and distort its color.

2.The coating on low-E glass increases its durability and reduces the chance of scratching.

3.Decreases energy losses by 30-50%, hence the energy efficiency of the building improves dramatically. Therefore, the low-E glass reduces the carbon footprint of the building and makes it more environmentally friendly.

Advantages

Low-E (low-emissivity) glass is designed to reflect heat back into the room while allowing natural light to pass through. Its advantages include improved energy efficiency, reduced heating and cooling costs, and increased comfort. Low-E glass can also protect furnishings from fading and improve the overall appearance of a building.

Benefits

Low-E (low-emissivity) glass has many benefits, including improved energy efficiency by reducing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, which can lead to lower heating and cooling costs. It also helps to prevent fading of interior furnishings, reduces condensation, and can provide a more comfortable living or working environment. Low-E glass can also contribute to achieving green building certifications and increasing property value.

Applications

High latitude and cold regions

These Regions have long winters, like North America and Northeast China, extremely low temperatures in winter, short daylight hours, and weak light intensity. High-transmittance Low-E glass can maximize the use of natural light due to its better light transmittance. At the same time, a coating surface is placed on the inner layer of the Low-E glass to achieve a better thermal insulation effect.

Areas with hot summer and warm winter

The regions are hot in summer and warm in winter. Which the temperature rises rapidly in summer, and the demand for heating in winter is lower than that in northern regions. Single-silver or double-silver Low-E glass can be used in these areas, so it is difficult for outside heat to enter the room, reducing the energy consumption of air conditioning cooling.

Areas with hot summer and cold winter

USA, Central China. The climatic characteristics of this region are that the four seasons are distinguished, the temperature difference between winter and summer is large, and the climatic conditions are relatively complex and more changeable. In these areas, low-transmittance and shading-type Low-E glass can be used, which can reduce the light transmittance of the glass in summer, prevent the outdoor heat radiation from entering the room, and make the heating inside the building less obvious. In winter, although the low transmittance of Low-E glass is relatively low, it can meet the normal lighting needs, and at the same time, it can prevent indoor heating and other heat from being transmitted outdoors.
