Low-e benefits
|
It's been two decades now since low-e was first introduced to the market. Nobody questions its excellent thermal performance, yet insulating glass wit low-e coating is rarely used in construction. Glass On Web would like to remind you about the benefits and the cost savings achieved by using low-e glass.

 During the energy crisis of the 1970's the whole world was determined to reduce the natural resource consumption. The major problem in case of glass was the significant heat loss through the glazing surface. The consequence was a lot of wasted energy and money. In 1980 the commercial development of thin, transparent, low emissive coatings literally revolutionized the concept of energy savings in windows. The low-e coating, placed on the inside of the insulating glass unit, enables the sun's short-wave energy to enter the room and at the same time prevents internal warm air from leaving the room. To know more about the benefits, energy and money savings take a look at the related links on the web which we have prepared for you.
