China Low-E Glass Suppliers - Custom Energy-Efficient Glass from Trusted Factory
Introduction
Product Parameters
◈ Coating Type:
Hard-Coat: Applied during the glass manufacturing process at high temperatures, offering durability and scratch resistance. Ideal for environments with frequent handling.
Soft-Coat: Deposited via sputtering technology in a vacuum, providing superior energy efficiency but requiring extra protection during installation.
✔
Visible Light Transmittance (VLT)
Ranges from 10% to 80%. Higher VLT allows more natural light to enter, while lower VLT enhances privacy and solar control.
✔
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)
Typically between 0.20 - 0.80. A lower SHGC blocks more solar heat, reducing cooling loads in summer.
✔
U-Value
As low as 0.8 - 1.8 W/(m²·K) for double-pane Low-E glass, indicating excellent thermal insulation compared to standard glass (U-value 5.8 W/(m²·K)).
✔
Thickness
Available in single-pane (3 - 12mm), double-pane (16 - 40mm), and triple-pane configurations. Thicker units offer enhanced insulation.
✔
Size Range
Standard sizes up to 300cm x 600cm. Custom sizes can be tailored to specific architectural requirements.
✔
Color Options
Clear, tinted (blue, green, gray), or reflective finishes, providing both aesthetic flexibility and light control.
Frequently Asked Questions
● What is the main difference between Hard-Coat and Soft-Coat Low-E glass?
Hard-Coat is applied at high temperatures for durability and scratch resistance, while Soft-Coat is applied via vacuum sputtering for superior energy efficiency but is more delicate.
● How does the U-Value of Low-E glass compare to standard glass?
Low-E glass offers significantly better insulation with U-Values as low as 0.8 - 1.8 W/(m²·K), compared to 5.8 W/(m²·K) for standard glass.
● Can I customize the size and color of the glass?
Yes, we offer custom sizes up to 300cm x 600cm and various color options including clear, blue, green, gray, and reflective finishes.
● What does a lower SHGC mean for my building?
A lower Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) means the glass blocks more solar heat, which helps in reducing cooling costs during hot summer months.
● Is Low-E glass available in triple-pane configurations?
Yes, Low-E glass is available in single, double, and triple-pane configurations to meet different thermal insulation requirements.
● Does higher VLT affect privacy?
Higher Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) allows more natural light in, whereas a lower VLT provides better privacy and enhanced solar control.
