Heat reflecting glass in your windows and doors helps conserve and reduce the cost of energy in your home. This type of glass is made by applying the inner surface of one or more interior panes with a very thin reflective coating which often gives windows and doors a mirror glass effect.
How Low E “Mirror Glass” Works
Low-E coatings are created by applying transparent metallic oxides to the glass’ surface. Typical metals include zinc, copper, titanium, tin, and silver while alloys include brass and stainless steel. This coating controls the transfer of heat and light by absorbing solar energy to a moderate degree. Reflective glass is more effective than standard tinted glass at absorbing and reflecting a majority of the sun’s direct heat energy and the result is greatly improved energy efficiency.
Reflective glass technology offers superior winter heating and summer cooling while blocking nearly 100% of harmful UV rays. Condensation buildup is reduced and a consistent inside temperature makes for year-round comfort.
