Low-E Glass Technology
What is Low-E Glass?
Low-E (low emissivity) glass features a microscopically thin, transparent coating that reflects infrared energy. This advanced technology allows natural light to enter your home while blocking unwanted heat transfer, helping maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round.
The special coating acts as a thermal barrier, reflecting heat back to its source. In winter, it reflects heat back into your home; in summer, it reflects the sun's heat back outside. This significantly reduces your heating and cooling costs while protecting your furniture, carpets, and draperies from UV damage.

How Low-E Glass Works
Blocks Harmful UV Rays
Blocks up to 95% of harmful ultraviolet rays that can fade furniture, carpets, and artwork.
Reflects Heat
Reflects heat back to its source, keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer.
Transmits Light
Allows visible light to pass through, maintaining bright, natural lighting in your home.
Energy Performance Metrics
U-Factor
Measures how well a window prevents heat from escaping. Lower values indicate better insulation.
Solar Heat Gain
Measures how well a window blocks heat from sunlight. Lower values mean less heat transmission.
Visible Light
Measures how much natural light passes through. Higher values mean more natural light.
UV Blockage
Percentage of ultraviolet rays blocked. Higher values mean better protection against fading.
