Is it necessary to use LOW-E glass for home balcony glazing? We know that today, broken-bridge aluminum doors and windows are the top choice for balcony enclosures, and these systems typically feature double-layered insulated glass. But does this mean LOW-E glass is essential?
LOWE glass, also known as coated glass, is produced by applying one or more layers of metal, alloy, or metal compound films onto the surface of glass. This process alters the glass's optical properties to meet specific requirements. The resulting product boasts high visible-light transmittance and excellent infrared reflectivity, offering superior thermal insulation. LOWE glass is primarily used in architectural applications as well as in vehicles like cars, buses, and ships. However, due to the relatively low strength of the coating layer, it’s typically incorporated into insulated glass units for enhanced durability and performance.
When it comes to home renovations like balcony enclosure, using LOW-E glass is relatively expensive—more than twice the cost of standard insulated glass. Yet, balcony enclosures typically involve a short construction timeline, usually completed in just 1 to 2 days. However, if LOW-E glass happens to break during transportation from the manufacturer or while handling the glass on-site, producing a replacement can take significantly longer. That’s why LOW-E glass remains a less common choice for balcony enclosures—mainly due to its high price, but also because any mishap with the glass could disrupt daily life at home.
