What Is Low-E?

Low-E, or low emissivity, is how a window reflects certain light length waves. A window with a good low-E lowers your energy bill because in the summer it reflects sunlight and in the winter it absorbs it to help heat your home.

Low-E Glass & Energy Efficiency Windows

Low-E glass is glass with a special insulated glazing, usually on the interior face of the glass, that helps stop heat loss from your home. Many of these energy efficient windows are actually double-glazed windows with a high-transmission, low-E glass and argon gas fill. (Argon is an inert, non-toxic gas used to reduce heat transfer.)

For more information on energy efficient windows, stop by one of The Window Man's showrooms to discuss which is appropriate for your home or commercial property.
