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.
What is low e366 glass?
LoĒ³-366 adds a third layer of silver coating. Result: a clear coating that blocks even more solar gain, reflects heat, and lets the light stream in. LoĒ³-366 actually outperforms the tinted glass often used in warm climates.
What is Low-E 270 glass?
LoE-270 reduces solar heat gain by 50% or more when compared to ordinary glass. Due to its clarity, LoE-270 outperforms tinted glass that would typically be used in sunny climates. It blocks 86% of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays and 86% of the sun’s infrared heat.
What is Low-E EC 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.
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 a good low-E rating?
How to Find Windows with the Best Low-E Rating. Ratings typically fall between 0.25 and 1.25, and the lower the rating, the better the low-E coating. Also consider the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), which is the amount of solar radiation that passes through a window, measured between 0 and 1.
What are the different levels of Low-E glass?
There are actually two different types of low-e coatings: passive low-e coatings and solar control low-e coatings. Passive low-e coatings are designed to maximize solar heat gain into a home or building to create the effect of “passive” heating and reducing reliance on artificial heating.
Does Anderson Use Cardinal Glass?
Are there different grades of low-e glass?
What is a good Low-E rating?
What is low-E 366 glass?
The ultimate performance glass, Low-E 366 provides the highest levels of year-round comfort and greatest energy savings. Its patented coating offers an ideal balance of solar control and high visibility. Blocking up to 95% of the sun’s damaging rays, Low-E 366 glass sets a new standard in energy performance.
Why choose Loe³-366 glass?
The neutral appearance and superior performance of LoE³-366 makes it the glass for all applications and all seasons. Because it balances VLT and SHGC so well, we recommend it for both commercial and residential applications in hot or cold climates but especially those prone to temperature fluctuations.
What is low-E 180 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. The better insulated the window glass, the more comfortable your room temperature. Low-E 180
