In simple terms, 'Low E' is short for 'Low Emissivity'. Low E glass is equipped with a transparent coating that reflects heat while permitting maximum light transmission, aiding in maintaining a cooler interior during Australian summers and a warmer one in the winter. It effectively blocks the sun's damaging UV rays, thereby also decreasing fading on furniture, carpet, and curtains.
Home owners looking to achieve greater thermal efficiencies in their home often choose Double Glazing (DG) over Single Glazing (see our other blog for more information on this!), which offers around 39% cooling and 59% heating improvement over standard Single Glazing (SG). Further upgrading to add Low E glass to Double Glazing units provides around 52% cooling and 64% heating improvement over normal Single Glazed windows and doors, thus providing a significantly more comfortable home for your family whilst reducing your ongoing power costs at the same time.
For a limited time, simply mention this promotion to us when you request Double Glazed windows or doors with All Window Replacements and we will upgrade your replacement windows/doors to Double Glazed Low E for the same price as standard Double Glazed!
Please be aware that some Low E glass types may exhibit a hazy appearance under specific conditions.
