Introduction
Coating Technology
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 (5.8 W/(m²·K)).
Thickness Configuration
Available in single-pane (3 - 12mm), double-pane (16 - 40mm), and triple-pane configurations.
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
1. What is the main difference between Hard-Coat and Soft-Coat Low-E glass?
Hard-coat is more durable and scratch-resistant, applied during manufacturing. Soft-coat offers higher energy efficiency and better U-values but is more delicate and usually used in sealed Insulated Glass Units (IGUs).
2. How does Low-E glass help in reducing energy costs?
By reflecting infrared energy (heat) back to its source, it keeps interiors cooler in summer by blocking solar heat and warmer in winter by preventing indoor heat from escaping.
3. Can I customize the size of the Low-E glass for my project?
Yes, we offer standard sizes up to 300cm x 600cm, but custom dimensions can be tailored to meet specific architectural and design needs.
4. Which VLT percentage should I choose?
If you want maximum natural light, choose a higher VLT (70-80%). If you prioritize privacy or live in a very sunny climate, a lower VLT (10-40%) may be more suitable.
5. Is Low-E glass available in different colors?
Absolutely. While clear is standard, we provide tinted options such as blue, green, and gray, as well as various reflective finishes for aesthetic variety.
6. What does a lower U-Value signify?
A lower U-Value indicates better thermal insulation. Our Low-E glass can reach values as low as 0.8 W/(m²·K), which is significantly more efficient than standard clear glass.
