Low-E Glass

Energy-efficient coating that reflects heat while letting light through

What is Low-E Glass?

Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass features a microscopically thin metallic coating that reflects infrared heat radiation while transmitting visible light. This allows natural daylight in while keeping unwanted heat out in summer and retaining indoor warmth in winter.

Low-E coating is typically applied to one surface of a glass pane within an insulated glass unit, dramatically improving the unit's thermal performance. It can reduce building energy costs by 30-50% compared to uncoated glass.

Standard: GB/T 18915-2013 — Coated Glass (National Standard)

Key Advantages

Heat Reflection

Reflects long-wave infrared radiation, keeping heat on the side it originates from.

Light Transmission

Maintains high visible light transmission for natural daylighting.

Year-Round Performance

Keeps heat out in summer and retains warmth in winter.

Invisible Coating

The metallic coating is virtually invisible — no change to glass appearance.
