Low-E Solar Control Glass
Low-E Solar Control Glass is a cutting-edge technology that combines the benefits of low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings with advanced solar control properties. This innovative glass solution is designed to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and environmental sustainability in both residential and commercial buildings. At Ipswich Glass, we specialise in supplying and manufacturing high-quality Solar Control Glass, tailored to meet the specific needs of our UK-based clientele.

How Low-E Solar Control Glass Works
Low-E Solar Control Glass works by applying a microscopically thin, transparent coating that reflects heat while allowing light to pass through. The Low-E coating reduces the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that comes through the glass without compromising the amount of visible light transmitted. This combined technology ensures optimal thermal insulation and effective solar heat control, making it an ideal choice for various applications.
Advantages of Low-E Solar Control Glass
Energy Efficiency
Low-E Solar Control Glass significantly reduces heating and cooling costs by maintaining a consistent indoor temperature. The solar control properties help in minimising the need for air conditioning during summer and heating during winter, leading to substantial energy savings.
Enhanced Comfort
This glass type offers superior comfort by reducing glare and protecting interiors from harmful UV rays. The Low-E coating helps in maintaining a pleasant indoor environment, contributing to overall well-being.
Environmental Benefits
By using Low-E Solar Control Glass, you contribute to a lower carbon footprint and promote sustainable building practices. The energy-efficient properties of this glass type support eco-friendly construction and renovation projects.
Applications of Low-E Solar Control Glass
Residential Uses
Low-E Solar Control Glass is perfect for windows, doors, conservatories, and skylights in homes. It enhances energy efficiency and comfort, making it a popular choice for residential buildings.
Commercial Uses
This glass type is widely used in office buildings, retail spaces, and public buildings due to its excellent thermal performance and solar control capabilities. It ensures a comfortable and energy-efficient environment for both employees and customers.
Industrial Uses
In industrial settings such as manufacturing facilities and warehouses, Low-E Solar Control Glass provides the necessary thermal insulation and solar protection, ensuring optimal working conditions.
