Low-E Glass (Energy-Saving & Thermal Insulation)
Overview
Low-E (Low-Emissivity) glass is coated with a thin metallic layer that reflects infrared energy while allowing visible light. This reduces heat transfer, improves energy efficiency, and protects interiors from UV damage.
Key Features
- Energy Efficiency: Reduces heating and cooling costs
- UV Protection: Minimizes fading of furniture and fabrics
- Thermal Comfort: Maintains stable indoor temperature
- Visible Light Transmission: Maximizes natural daylight
- Durability: Long-lasting coatings
