1. Low Emissivity (Low-E) Coating
The Low-E coating is a thin, transparent metallic layer applied to the glass surface. This coating reflects infrared heat back into the room, reducing heat loss in winter and minimizing heat gain in summer.
It also blocks harmful UV rays, protecting interiors from fading without compromising natural light.
2. Energy Efficiency
Low-E insulated glass is engineered to significantly improve a building's energy efficiency. The combination of Low-E coatings and an insulated air gap (filled with argon or krypton gas) results in a reduced U-value, offering superior thermal insulation.
It helps to reduce heating and cooling costs by preventing heat from escaping or entering the building.
3. Thermal Comfort
The insulated glass unit maintains a stable indoor temperature by minimizing temperature fluctuations. Low-E glass creates a more comfortable living or working environment by keeping the interior cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
4. UV Protection
The Low-E coating effectively blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting furnishings, artwork, and flooring from sun damage and fading over time.
5. Sound Insulation
Low-E insulated glass enhances acoustic performance by reducing external noise transmission, making it ideal for urban environments or noise-sensitive areas such as bedrooms, offices, or schools.
6. Durability
Low-E glass is designed to be durable and resistant to environmental factors. The sealed unit ensures long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
It is highly resistant to condensation and is less likely to develop moisture problems between panes, compared to standard glass.
7. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly
Low-E insulated glass is an environmentally friendly choice for buildings aiming for energy certifications like LEED or Passive House. It reduces the overall carbon footprint by lowering energy consumption.
8. Certificates
Suitable for use as a safety glass as defined by consumer product safety association 16CFR 1201, ansiz 97.1 1984 and BS6262.
Conforms to CCC, AS/NZS2208-1996, EN12150-1, and ASTM C1048. All work done on glass (beveling, cutting, bending, etc) must be done before tempering.

Q: How to maintain Low-E insulating glass?
A:
Do's | Don'ts |
Use mild,non-abrasive cleaners | Use harsh chemicals (e.g.,ammonia) |
Clean with soft,lint-free cloth or sponge | Use abrasive tools like steel wool |
Inspect seals and frames periodically | lgnore condensationbetween panes |
Ventilate rooms to reduce condensation | Apply dark,non-ventilated coverings |
Protect glass during construction | Expose to sharp impacts or sudden temperature changes |
