Low-E Glass refers to glass with low emissivity. This means the glass deflects UV rays, preventing them from passing through the window. Because this provides several benefits for your indoor space, low-E glass windows are virtually always a worthwhile option for your home.
Here are three reasons to go with low-E:
- Enhanced energy efficiency. Low-E glass is a popular option for residential and commercial windows because of its energy efficiency properties. Reducing the heat transfer facilitated by windows better insulates your home and lightens the load of your HVAC system, all while still permitting natural light to pass through. All this adds up to more efficient energy usage with less waste.
- UV protection. Deflecting harmful UV rays and infrared light does more than just help lower energy costs. UV rays can damage your furniture, flooring, and finishes, causing them to weaken and fade over time. Too much UV radiation exposure can also be harmful to your health, so protecting people from UV rays while they are indoors makes low-E glass another beneficial option.
- Temperature regulation. Low-E glass windows are unmatched in their temperature regulation abilities. Since they block UV and infrared rays, they’re better insulators than conventional glass. As thermal barriers, they allow a building’s heating and cooling systems to operate more efficiently, keeping the space comfortable more consistently and with less effort.
Low-E glass is an innovative technology that transforms windows into insulating thermal barriers that protect indoor spaces while providing a beautiful focal point for any room. We invite you to take a look at our online catalogs to see how we can enhance your design with our low-E glass options.
