Custom Low-E Glass Manufacturer, Supplier

Short Description:

Low-emissivity glass, commonly referred to as Low-E glass, is coated with a thin film that is both silver and metal-oxide based. This unique coating allows the glass to exhibit a variety of colors. Its primary function is to lower the U-value of the glass, selectively reduce the shading coefficient, and thereby significantly enhance the energy-saving capabilities of the glass.

The main advantages of Low-E glass:

Low-E glass is used in architecture to maintain coolness in summer and warmth in winter, offering superior insulation. As a type of coated glass, it minimizes heat transfer due to temperature differences between indoors and outdoors.

Product Description

Detailed Features

Low-E glass encompasses two primary types: high transmission Low-E glass and sun shading Low-E glass. High transmission Low-E glass features a shading coefficient of Sc ≥ 0.5, which minimally reduces the transmission of sunlight. In contrast, sun-shading Low-E glass has a shading coefficient of Sc < 0.5, significantly reducing the transmission of sunlight.

Silver content in film structure categorizes Low-E glass into single, double, and triple-silver types. Double-silver Low-E glass was developed for applications requiring high light transmission and low shading coefficient. Typically, double-silver Low-E glass offers greater visible light transmissivity than single-silver, while triple-silver provides even higher transmissivity. Double-silver Low-E glass is versatile for most applications.

Applications & Uses

1. Utilized as a glass facade or curtain wall, it is extensively applied in regions of high, medium, and low latitudes, effectively preventing external heat from penetrating indoors during the summer months.

2. Used as windows and doors in buildings, it significantly diminishes the radiation from indoor heat transfer to the exterior, thereby achieving the desired energy-saving benefits.

3. It can be processed into Low-E laminated glass and Low-E insulated glass, finding widespread application in modern architectural construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main benefit of Low-E glass?

Low-E (low-emissivity) glass features a microscopic coating that reflects infrared light (heat). This helps keep interiors cooler in summer and warmer in winter, significantly reducing energy costs.

What is the difference between Single, Double, and Triple Silver Low-E?

The "silver" refers to the number of layers in the coating. Double and Triple silver provide better insulation and lower shading coefficients while maintaining high visible light transmission compared to single silver.

Where is Sun-shading Low-E glass typically used?

It is ideal for hot climates or buildings with large glass facades where reducing solar heat gain is a priority to keep the indoor environment comfortable.

Can Low-E glass be tempered or laminated?

Yes, Low-E glass is highly versatile and can be processed into tempered safety glass, laminated glass, or insulated glass units (IGUs) for various architectural needs.

What colors are available for Offline Low-E glass?

While online Low-E is usually clear, offline Low-E glass comes in clear, blue, gray, and other customized colors to match the aesthetic requirements of modern buildings.

How long does it take to receive a custom order?

Standard delivery is typically between 3 to 10 days after the deposit is received, though urgent processing services are available for time-sensitive projects.
