Descriptions of Thermal Insulation Glass

Low-e coating

Low-E means low-emissivity glass. The coating is designed to control long-wave heat transfer while maintaining the optical properties required by the selected product. Low-E glass may be incorporated into double- or triple-glazed assemblies when the project requires a lower U-value or specific solar performance. Leading insulated glass unit suppliers incorporate these coatings to maximize energy efficiency.

Hard Coated Low-e Glass

It’s an online low-e, low-e coated when glass comes from the kiln line.

The biggest advantage of hard-coated low-E is it’s hard and has no chemical reaction when exposed in the air, glass can be used as a single panel.

The emissivity is about 0.15-0.2, higher than soft-coated low-E coatings, so hard coated Low-E glass U value higher than soft-coated low-e glass, maintaining reliable thermal performance for both thermal insulated glass and laminated glass heat insulation applications.

We use the hard-coated low-e from Jinjing, CSG, and AGC.

Soft Coated Low-e Glass

Soft-coated Low-E is an offline coating produced after float-glass manufacture, typically using magnetron sputtering technology. It can be applied to clear or tinted substrates. The product family is commonly described as single-, double- or triple-silver Low-E according to the coating design; final selection should be based on the actual product data rather than silver-layer count alone.

Single Silver Low-E coating

Single-silver Low-E uses a single silver-based functional layer within the coating stack. The U value is around 1.7-1.8, SC value around 0.3-0.7. The processing for tempering single silver low-e is easier,it’s also not as costly as double silver low-e or triple silver low-e.

Double Silver Low-E coating

Double Silver Low-E coating is with two silver layers in the coating. It has better U value around 1.6-1.7, SC value can be around 0.25-0.45. it provides excellent energy saving performance, used widely for constructions and passive house. It’s more expensive than single silver low-e glass.

Triple Silver Low-E coating

It’s actually a high technology for low-e coating industry, with three silver layers inside the coating, it has high VLT to get more sunlight and better U value and SC value to keep heat or cold. As the most expensive one among the three types, it delivers unmatched energy efficiency for luxury thermal insulated glass and top-tier thermal insulation projects.

Solar Reflective Coating

Solar-reflective coatings are used to manage solar gain, visible-light transmission, exterior reflectance and facade appearance. The required balance depends on climate, orientation, target solar-control metric, VLT, color and the complete glazing configuration.

The advantage of solar reflective glass is ：the shading efficiency is very good, Rich and colorful shooting tones and excellent decorative effects, good sight shielding function, reduce the transmission of UV light.

Thermal Insulated Glass Features

Thermal insulated glass also known as energy saving glass

Reduce building energy consumption

Energy saving glass can significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings, especially in winter and summer. In winter, it can reduce the escape of indoor heat; In summer, it can block sunlight from entering the room, thereby reducing the frequency of air conditioning and heating usage and saving energy

Protecting indoor items

Low-E glass can filter out most of the ultraviolet rays, protecting furniture, floors, walls, and other indoor items from UV damage, while also helping to protect the health of residents.

Improving lighting performance

By controlling indoor light transmission and reflection, energy-saving glass can significantly enhance the lighting performance of buildings, making indoor light softer and more uniform, creating a brighter and more comfortable living environment.

Dew Free

In the cold winter, energy saving glass can effectively reduce this condensation, keep indoor air dry, and improve indoor air quality.
