best quality low e glass
DESCRIPTION
We at Flat Glass provide Low E glass of good quality. Low E glass is suitable for winter as well a summer due to its feature of the heat bounce rate.TRANSCRIPT
Low E Glass
Low-emissivity glass (or low-e glass as it is commonly referred to) is a type of energy-efficient glass designed to prevent heat escaping through your windows to the cold outdoors.
Low-emissive (Low-E) glass is window glass that has been treated with an invisible metal or metallic oxide coating, creating a surface that reflects heat, while allowing light to pass through.
Windows treated with Low-E coatings are proven to reduce energy consumption, decrease fading of fabrics, such as window treatments, and increase overall comfort in your home.
How Low-E Glass Works ?
The heat that passes through your window glass is measured by the U-factor or ultraviolet light. The lower the U-factor the more energy-efficient your glass is.
This type of light is produced by the sun and generates heat in your home. Too much of this heat, especially during summer, can cause your air conditioning bill to go up in an effort to keep your house cool.
Low-E glass reduces the amount of ultraviolet light that enters your home, without blocking visible light.
Conversely, in winter, Low-E glass reduces the amount of heat lost through your windows from the inside of your home, keeping heating costs down. Depending on your home's heating and cooling needs, various types of Low-E glass have been developed to allow for high, medium or low solar gain.
Types of Low-e Glass
Hard Coat Low E
Hard coat Low E, or pyrolytic coating, is a coating applied at high temperatures and is sprayed onto the glass surface during the float glass process. (HARD COAT).
Soft Coat Low E
Soft coat Low E, or sputter coating, is applied in multiple layers of optically transparent silver sandwiched between layers of metal oxide in a vacuum chamber. This process provides the highest level of performance and a nearly invisible coating.
Benefits of Low-e Glass
Improved energy efficiency
Less UV damage
Reduced condensation
Rebates on windows & doors
Flat Glass Industries is a leader in value-added processing and wholesaling of glass and architectural glass hardware for the building and manufacturing sectors.
We cover the complete spectrum of glass to commercial and residential industries – from float to laminated and toughened safety glass to energy efficient, insulated glass units available in glazed, reflective, mirrored, painted, pattern screen-printed & low emissivity combinations.
Low-Emissivity (Low – E) glass
Has a thin metallic coating on the glass that reflects thermal radiation or inhibits its emission reducing heat transfer through the glass (similar to Smart Glass).
Low E glass reflects the radiation rather than absorbing it, improving performance, resulting in a lower U-value. The lower the U-value the better the performance.
FGI Group is committed to ‘going greener’ – adopting environmentally friendly practices and supplying leading edge glass products which deliver outstanding energy efficiency and performance.
FGI energy efficient glass is ideally suited for:
• Office Buildings• Factories• Homes• Public Venues• Commercial or Residential• Small to Large Projects.
