3. What is Low e glass?
Most manufacturers now supply low-e glass as the standard glass in your new or replacement windows. Low-e glass is coated with a special coating that reflects heat and some light. This coating reflects the heat of home back into the home and the heat of the sun out of your home. The benefit of the coating is to improve the insulating value of dual pane glass by as much as 40% over dual pane clear glass. Low-e glass also lowers heat gain from the sun, improving summer time comfort in your building.
4. Some window manufacturers seem to claim to have a “special” low – e glass. Is this the case?
This is a yes and no answer. First let me say that window manufacturers do not make the glass in windows, nor do they apply the low-e coatings. This is done by the glass manufacturers. Most standard low-e coatings are low-2. There can are variations from glass manufactures to manufacturer, but the performance of the low-e glass does not vary significantly. Low-3 is becoming a more common coating and again there are slight variations from one glass manufacturer to another, but the variations are minor. In addition there are special coatings offered to further improve insulating value, to increase solar heat gain, or to make the windows easier to wash on the outside.
