What are Low-E coatings?
A. Low-E coatings were developed to limit the amount of UV rays in buildings, which aids in the reduction of energy consumption. There are two main types of Low-E coatings, hard and soft. Hard coatings are usually applied during the manufacturing process of glass and are very durable. Soft coatings are usually applied after glass manufacturing and are applied in a vacuum chamber, usually with the sputter coating process.
