Low E Glass Diamond Creek
Ordinary Glass Windows Not Cutting It?
Many people think of insulation as what keeps your home’s temperature regulated. While the insulation in your walls and roof does play a role in this, the glass used in your windows does, too. If the glass is inefficient, it can exacerbate the temperatures outside and bring them inside— the last thing you want! So what’s the solution?
What is Low-E Glass?
In winter, the heat inside your house attempts to escape outside through the windows. Low-e glass aims to stop this process in its tracks by acting as a barrier and reflecting the heat inside. On the other hand, in summer, the coating on low-e glass aims to reduce the amount of heat that comes inside through the window.
Low-e glass comes in two types:
1. Hard Coat Low-E Glass
2. Soft Coat Low-E Glass
Elevate Your Windows With Low-E Glass
Both hard and soft coat low-e glass are great options for new windows or replacing the glass in your existing windows. Whether you’re building a new home, renovating, or simply trying to increase your home’s value, low-e windows are a fantastic start.

Your Low-E Glass Questions Answered
What are the advantages of hard coat low-e glass?
Hard coat low-e glass is generally considered to be the toughest type of low-e glass. As such, it’s harder to scratch, so the coating tends to last longer. It can also be used on single-glazed windows, and makes use of passive solar heat gain.
What are the advantages of soft coat low-e glass?
Soft coat low-e glass offers a nearly invisible coating and high visible light transmission, giving minimal colour haze. It also has excellent insulating abilities and is generally considered to be the best low-e glass option for preventing UV ray transmission.
What’s the difference between low-e glass and double glazing?
Low-e glass aims to minimise heat transfer through its coating, while double glazing aims to do the same via a gap between two glass panes that is filled with air or gas.
While double glazing and low-e glass are different, they can be used together. Low-e glass can be used with uPVC double glazed windows for even better protection against heat transfer than simply using double glazing alone.
