Hard / soft Coated Low-E Glass
Product Description
Hard coated Low-E glass, also known as in-line Low-E, is produced by using a pyrolysis process to produce a pyrolytic coating. The coating is then applied to the glass ribbon while being produced on a float glass production line which "melts" the coating onto the hot glass surface. This fusion produces a strong bond, or "hard coat", which is extremely durable.
A low emissivity (low-e) glass coating was developed to minimize the amount of UV and IR light that can pass through the glass without compromising the amount of visible light transmitted. The thin transparent coating under the microscope allows the low-emissivity glass to reflect external heat at warm temperatures and retain heat at low temperatures, making the building light, bright and energy efficient.
Low-e coatings play an important role in the overall performance of the window and can significantly affect the overall heating, lighting and cooling costs of the home. Generally, highly reflective materials have low emissivity and dull darker materials have high emissivity. All materials, including windows, re-radiate heat in the form of long-wave infrared energy, depending on the emissivity and temperature of the surface. Radiant energy is one of the important ways of heat transfer in windows. Reducing the emissivity of one or more glazing surfaces improves the insulation properties of the window. Therefore, having low-emissivity glass can ultimately improve the external temperature of the home in any climate. If you live in an extremely cold climate, hard-coated Low-E glass may be your choice because it allows some of the sun's short-wave infrared energy to pass through the glass. Hard coated Low-E glass helps to heat your home in the winter and allows the glass to reflect the long-wave heat inside.
