Windows glazed using Low-Emissivity glass significantly reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions, by allowing energy from the sun into a building without letting internally generated heat escape.
Low Emissivity (Low-e) glass usually forms the inner pane of a double glazing unit, and allows less heat to escape through windows than ordinary glass. The special 'low-e' energy saving coating lets the sun's rays through, but reflects heat from fires and radiators back into the home. Heat which ordinary double glazing allows to escape.
- Low E Hard Coated products including K GlassTM and Planibel G®
- Low E Soft Coated products including Planibel Top N®, Planibel Top NT® and OptithermTM SN
Pilkington have recently confirmed that their hard coat low-e and soft-coat low-e are likely to place any given window in the same Window Energy Rating category.
