Custom Low-E Glass from China's Leading Suppliers and Factory for Energy-Efficient Building Solutions
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 (FAQ)
Hard-Coat Low-E glass is manufactured at high temperatures during production, making it highly durable and scratch-resistant. Soft-Coat Low-E glass is applied in a vacuum chamber, offering superior energy efficiency and lower U-values, but it is more delicate and typically sealed inside double-pane units.
The U-Value measures heat transfer rate. A lower U-value means better thermal insulation. Double-pane Low-E glass can achieve U-values as low as 0.8 - 1.8 W/(m²·K), significantly outperforming standard glass which has a U-value of around 5.8 W/(m²·K).
SHGC stands for Solar Heat Gain Coefficient. It indicates the fraction of solar radiation admitted through the glass. A lower SHGC (e.g., 0.20) is ideal for warm climates as it blocks solar heat, while a higher SHGC allows passive solar heating in colder climates.
Yes, Low-E glass is highly customizable. It is available in standard sizes up to 300cm x 600cm as well as custom dimensions. Aesthetic options include clear, tinted (blue, green, gray), and reflective finishes to suit various architectural designs.
Low-E glass can be configured as single-pane (3-12mm), double-pane (16-40mm), or triple-pane units. Double and triple-pane configurations provide the highest levels of thermal insulation and energy efficiency.
