But low—E class is something you can add on to really give your windows the extra element you want. Here are just a few things that low—E glass can do and what it is, exactly.’

‘Low—E Glass‘

‘Low—E glass, or low emissivity glass, is glass that has an invisible metallic coating on it. That coating is thin and transparent, but it does quite a bit. Mirrors are reflective objects so think of the coating on low—E glass in the same light. The coating reflects things, especially heat. And it blocks other things from getting through.’

‘Heat Reflection‘

‘One of the biggest benefits of low—E glass is the heat reflection. This works well any season of the year since you want comfort in your house at all times. During the winter, you will be heating your house with your HVAC system. You don’t want the heat to escape and with this glass, it won’t. Heat is reflected back into the house so you can use it and not lose it to the chill outside. That means your HVAC works less hard to maintain the same temperature and you get the comfort you want. Summers in Texas can be miserably hot, but you don’t have to worry about that heavy air getting into your house. When you have low—E glass, the heat of the sun is reflected back outside and never enters your house. You can have all the natural lighting you want without any of the heat. You stay nice and cool and save on energy bills all at once.’

‘UV Blockage‘

‘While low—E glass will let certain things through, like natural light, it will block other items from coming into your house, like UV rays. UV rays bring the heat of the sun with them, which you don’t want in your home. They also damage and fade items like furniture, flooring, and anything else that gest in their way. You can have natural light without the dangers of UV rays, all thanks to low—E glass.’
