Foshan’s original manufacturer of single-silver LOW-E glass—how does the SC0.5 high-transmittance, energy-saving glass perform in terms of thermal insulation and daylighting for residential complexes?


Release time:

Oct 27,2026

In recent years, within the short‑video trend of home decoration and property‑development renovations, single‑silver LOW‑E insulated glass has emerged as a cost‑effective, energy‑saving star material. With its high light transmittance, basic thermal insulation, minimal color shift, and suitability for both northern and southern climates, it has become the standard glazing choice for ordinary residences, low‑rise to mid‑rise apartment complexes, and street‑front commercial spaces.

Compared with the higher cost of double‑silver LOW‑E glass, single‑silver LOW‑E glass offers superior value, balancing comfortable daylighting with basic energy savings. It preserves unobstructed indoor views and delivers a clean, uniform exterior finish, making it an ideal choice for entry‑level housing, energy‑efficient retrofits of older residential neighborhoods, and renovations of standard commercial buildings.

Guangdong Haibo Special Glass Technology Co., Ltd. As the original manufacturer of single-silver LOW‑E glass in Foshan, we specialize in the advanced processing of national‑standard, energy‑saving single‑silver glass. Our coatings are evenly applied, with stable performance and no color variation, perfectly suited to the subtropical climate of South China. With long‑term use, it resists oxidation, fogging, and coating delamination.

Our factory’s best-selling single‑silver LOW‑E glass meets core national standards: it strictly complies with the GB/T 2680‑2021 Building Optics standard and the JGJ/T 151 Thermal Performance Code. Featuring a mainstream 6+12A+6 insulated‑glass configuration, it delivers a visible‑light transmittance of ≥70%, providing bright, clear daylight without any oppressive dimness. With a solar shading coefficient (SC) of ≥0.5, it falls into the high‑transmittance, energy‑saving category—capturing solar heat in winter while blocking a portion of infrared radiation in summer.

The U‑value of the thermal transmittance is 1.8–2.0 W/(m²·K), effectively reducing heat exchange between indoors and outdoors, with energy‑saving performance far exceeding that of conventional insulated glass. With an infrared reflectance of ≥70%, it efficiently blocks solar near‑infrared heat, alleviating the sweltering heat caused by afternoon sun exposure in summer. Its low‑emissivity coating delivers soft, glare‑free outdoor reflections, minimizing urban light pollution.

The entire series features homogeneous tempered glass substrates, with a self‑breakage rate of ≤0.01% and fracture producing blunt‑angled fragments, in compliance with building safety glass standards.

Popular application scenarios for trending products: windows and doors in essential‑need residential complexes, floor-to-ceiling windows in low‑rise high‑rise buildings, energy‑efficient renovations of older apartment blocks, storefront windows and doors, daylighting windows in standard office buildings, exterior facades of apartment towers, and light‑luxury window and door upgrades for self‑built homes in towns and rural areas.

Influencer‑approved design: For north–south‑throughout, standard‑layout apartments, opt for the standard 6+12A+6 single‑silver insulated glass—offering a balanced mix of natural light and energy efficiency at the best value. For homes with mild west‑facing sun exposure, choose a high‑transmittance single‑silver option to maximize daylight while mitigating any feeling of stuffiness.

In the renovation of older residential communities, a uniform batch of coated glass has been installed, ensuring no color variation on the façade and a neat, well‑executed aesthetic. For shopfront doors and windows, high‑definition, low‑reflectance single‑silver glass has been selected, preserving unobstructed views while enhancing energy efficiency.
