  Coated glass refers to glass with one or more layers of metal/oxide film coated on its surface through physical or chemical methods to achieve functions such as shading, heat insulation, reflection, or decoration. Common types include solar control film, reflective film, and LOW-E film.

  LOW-E glass is a type of low-emissivity coated glass that focuses on improving building energy efficiency. It can effectively block infrared rays from entering the room, thereby reducing the air conditioning load.

  Ordinary solar coated glass is more often used for commercial facades or partition decoration. It has stronger colors and high reflectivity, but does not necessarily have energy-saving properties.

  Selection should be based on the scenario: LOW-E glass is recommended for residential energy saving; ordinary coated glass can be considered for visual effects or glare prevention.

  Understanding the difference between "coating" and "low-emissivity" is the first step in selecting the right glass.
