What is low-e 272 glass?

Low-E 272 Glass delivers year-round comfort, reflecting an intermediate level of heat back into the room in winter and rejecting the sun’s heat and UV rays in summer. This product’s patented coating provides clarity and high-performance low-solar control, reducing window heat gain by 50% compared to ordinary glass.

What is low-e insulated glass?

Low-E, or low-emissivity, glass was created to minimize the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that comes through your glass, without minimizing the amount of light that enters your home. Low-E glass windows have a microscopically thin coating that is transparent and reflects heat.

What is super low-e glass?

Low E glass is essentially standard clear glass with a microscopic, transparent coating on its surface that is better at reflecting heat than the glass itself, creating a composition that has a lower emissivity than standard glass.

What is e366 glass?

Cardinal LoĒ³-366® glass is the ultimate performance glass. It just might make all other low-e glass obsolete. LoĒ³-366 delivers the ideal balance of solar control and high visibility. And it provides the highest levels of year-round comfort and energy savings. It’s the perfect glass wherever you live.

What is the difference between low-e 180 272 and 366 glass?

In its simplest form it is down to the number of layers – LoE-272 has 8 layers in its coating, whilst LoE-366 has 12 layers. These layers are what do the work of reflecting the heat all the while letting light into your home. The glass with more layers, LoE-366 performs the best.

Does Marvin use Cardinal Glass?

Marvin uses glazing from Cardinal Glass Industries and can provide the following low-e options: LoE-179, LoE2-240, LoE2-272, LoE3-366. Marvin can also put the coatings on different surfaces to optimize performance for different climates.

Can you see through low-E glass?

Low-E is a window coating that is completely transparent. It’s not the same as tinted glass, which blocks out light but doesn’t reduce heat transfer. So, if you opt to add a low-E coating to your replacement windows, you won’t sacrifice visibility for energy efficiency.

Is Low E glass worth the money?

Absolutely! Low-e glass options are definitely worth the investment. For just a few more dollars than standard glass, you get the energy savings, improved year-round comfort, and protection from low-e glass. And that little extra cost can pay for itself with the money you’ll save on utility bills!

How can you tell if glass is low E?

How Can Homeowners Tell if Their Windows Have Low-E Glass?

Hold a lit match or a pen light up in front of the window.
If the window contains low-e glass, one of the images will be a different color than the rest of the images.
If the window does not have low-e glass, the four reflected images will be the same color.

Does Pella use Cardinal Glass?

Cardinal glass is featured in the most top of the line products like Andersen, Pella, Windsor, Marvin, Milgard, Fleetwood, Amsco, etc. In fact, we sell 20 brands of windows and doors and all of these brands use Cardinal glass in their products.

What is Cardinal i89?

Enhanced Winter Performance Introducing LoĒ-i89™, our new energy-saving 4th surface coated glass. Yet it still delivers a center of glass U-factor of just 0.20 when coupled with our LoĒ³ or LoĒ² glass and argon fill in a double-pane unit.

What’s the difference between low E 272 glass and regular glass?

Low-E 272 Glass delivers year-round comfort, reflecting an intermediate level of heat back into the room in winter and rejecting the sun’s heat and uv rays in summer. This product’s patented coating provides clarity and high-performance low-solar control, reducing window heat gain by 50% compared to ordinary glass.

How does the low E coating on glass work?

These coatings are extremely thin layers applied to glass that allow the material to reflect that radiant energy. The Low-E coating works two different ways — it can either keep precious heating inside your home during cold months, preventing escape through the glass, or prevent heat from entering your home on a hot day.

What is the purpose of low emissivity glass?

Low-E (low-emissivity) glass is coated with a low-emittance material designed to reflect heat. A window made with Low-E glass repels ultraviolet rays that generate heat during the summer but absorbs UV rays and lets heat in during winter.

What is the SHGC of low E 180 glass?

With a glass U-Factor of just 0.26 and an SHGC of 0.69, Low-E 180 Glass is an excellent basic product for passive solar applications. By blocking heat loss to the outside of the glass, the high solar gain glass keeps homes warm in winter and cool in summer.
