What Are Low-E Coatings?

Low-E coatings on glazing or glass control heat transfer through windows with insulated glazing. Windows manufactured with low-E coatings typically cost about 10%-15% more than regular windows, but they reduce energy loss by as much as 30%-50%.

A low-E coating is a microscopically thin, virtually invisible, metal or metallic oxide layer deposited directly on the surface of one or more panes of glass. The low-E coating reduces the infrared radiation from a warm pane of glass to a cooler pane, thereby lowering the u-factor of the window. Different types of low-E coatings have been designed to allow for high, moderate or low solar gain.
