Insulating glass and Low-e glass (low-e glass) are both commonly used energy-saving glass types in modern buildings, and each of them has unique properties and advantages. As for why insulating glass is used without Low-e process in some cases, it mainly depends on the specific application requirements, cost considerations and performance trade-offs.
First of all, the insulating glass itself has excellent heat insulation, sound insulation and anti-condensation performance. It consists of two or more layers of glass sandwiched between one or more layers of air (sometimes filled with inert gas). Through effective support and sealing technology, the air flow in the hollow layer is greatly restricted, thereby reducing the heat transfer. This structure makes the insulating glass perform well in heat preservation and heat insulation, and is especially suitable for occasions that require good heat insulation performance, such as building doors and windows in cold areas.
The Low-e glass is coated on the glass surface with a layer of low radiation characteristics of multi-layer metal or other compound film layer, by reducing the emissivity of the glass surface to achieve energy saving effect. Low-e glass can reflect most of the infrared radiation, while allowing visible light to pass through, so it has excellent thermal insulation properties and good lighting effect. However, the preparation process of Low-e glass is relatively complicated and the cost is relatively high.
In specific applications, whether to choose plus Low-e process mainly depends on the following factors:
Cost considerations: The cost of Low-e glass is usually higher than that of ordinary insulating glass, so in the case of limited budget, you may choose to use insulating glass without Low-e process.
Performance requirements: In some cases, the insulation performance of insulating glass is sufficient to meet the demand, no need to add Low-e process. For example, in some mild climate areas or building interior temperature requirements are not high occasions.
Lighting requirements: Although Low-e glass can reflect infrared radiation, it will also affect the transmittance of visible light to a certain extent. If the building needs good lighting effect, may choose to use insulating glass without Low-e process, in order to maintain a high visible light transmittance.
Maintenance and service life: The film layer of Low-e glass needs special protection to avoid scratches and corrosion. In contrast, the structure of insulating glass is simpler, and the maintenance and service life are longer.
In summary, the choice to use insulating glass without Low-e process is due to a variety of factors. In practical applications, trade-offs and choices should be made according to specific needs and conditions.
