What is Low-E glass and what are its benefits?
Low-E glass stands for low emissivity glass. It is a technologically advanced, insulating glass that improves energy efficiency by reducing the transfer of heat or cold through windows. West Coast Windows uses Cardinal’s LoE3 which adds a third coating for the ultimate in performance and clarity — it reduces window heat gain by 64% compared to ordinary glass. LoE3 also provides exceptional fading protection, blocking out 95% of damaging UV rays. During cold weather the insulating effect of your windows directly impacts the air temperature in your rooms. The superior insulating capability of LoE3 glass keeps your home warm and controls humidity.
