Why is it not recommended to have darkly tinted and LoE glass in my insulating glass unit?
It has been shown through Insulate’s own experience that this combination may cause a seal failure in the insulating glass units. We believe this occurs because tinted glass tends to trap heat inside the home, whereas LoE tries to reflect outside heat back out. Both working together causes heat to build up between the two panes of glass, resulting in seal stress, and eventually unit failure.
