How Low E Glass Works  

Low E Glass functions by reflecting interior temperatures back inside, thanks to a microscopically thin coating that controls heat transfer. This 'low emissivity'—the ability to emit low levels of radiant thermal energy—ensures that your space remains at a consistent and comfortable temperature. Whether you are looking to install new Low E Glass for doors or Low E Glass for windows, Ipswich Glass provides products that reduce energy costs effectively.

Types of Low E Coatings  

Low E Glass comes in two main types: Hard Coat and Soft Coat. Each type suits different environmental and structural demands:

  • Hard Coat Low E Glass: This is manufactured through a process that fuses the coating to the glass while it is still hot. It's particularly suitable for colder climates where interior heat retention is crucial.

  • Soft Coat Low E Glass: Applied post-production, this coating is sealed within double-glazed units to enhance its performance and longevity. This variant is ideal for regions with varied climates, providing superior UV protection and thermal insulation.

Advantages of Low E Glass  

Choosing Low E Glass from Ipswich Glass means investing in significant energy efficiency and cost savings. This glass type not only helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures without over-reliance on heating or cooling systems but also protects interiors from sun-related fading. Opting for Low E Glass can lead to a reduced carbon footprint, aligning with eco-friendly building practices.

FAQs about Low E Glass  

What is the durability of Low E Glass?  

Low E Glass is designed to offer long-lasting performance in various climatic conditions. The durability largely depends on the type of coating applied. Hard Coat Low E Glass is particularly robust due to the coating being fused onto the glass at high temperatures, making it suitable for harsher climates. Soft Coat Low E Glass, although slightly more delicate due to its application after the glass has cooled, is sealed within double-glazed units to protect it from external elements, enhancing its durability.

How much does Low E Glass cost?  

The cost of Low E Glass can vary depending on several factors, including the type of Low E coating, the size and shape of the glass panels, and any additional features such as double glazing or framing. Generally, Low E Glass is an investment in energy efficiency, leading to long-term savings on energy bills, which can offset the initial higher cost compared to standard glass.
