Frequently Asked Questions:

Question 6
What is "Low-E" glass?

Answer 6
Low-E glass is coated with microscopically thin layers of transparent silver in between a layer of anti-reflective metal oxide coating that prevents energy transfer through the double paned glass unit. Low-E glass also allows visible light to enter a home, while blocking infrared light and more than 80% of the sun’s ultraviolet light. As a result, there is less heat loss in the winter and less heat gain in the summer. In other words, throughout the seasons, rain or shine, your home will maintain a more consistent average temperature and be more comfortable all year round. In fact, Low-E coatings improve the insulating value of a window almost as much as adding an additional pane of glass! Low-E glass also protects carpets, window treatments, furniture, stained wood, wall paint and fabrics from the fading effects of the sun. Finally, by combining Low-E coatings with a "low-conductance gas", such as argon, you can boost your energy efficiency by nearly 100% over clear glass!

In the end, the added cost for Low-E coatings and low-conductance gas fillings is only about 5% of the window’s total cost. In short: it’s a no-brainer.
