What is low-e glass and why is it important?
Low-e stands for low-emissivity glass, which is a very thin coat of material on the glass to make it more efficient. This is important when the weather is very hot and sunny. Low-e coating help reflect heat away from the surface, keeping unwanted heat out in the summer and desired heat inside in the winter. Low-e glass is the most cost-effective way to increase the efficiency of your windows. It can also help reduce the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation entering your home, reducing furniture and carpet fading.
