Engineering purchasers buying Low-E glass are often misled by merchants who pass off ordinary coated glass as the genuine product, resulting in substandard insulation performance.

Techniques for identifying authenticity and selecting products: Check the label—genuine Low-E glass features a laser-etched "Low-E" mark on the corner that won’t wipe off. Feel the coating: The side with the coating should have a smooth texture with slight resistance; avoid installing the coated side outdoors, as it’s prone to oxidation.

Choose the right specification based on your region: opt for double-silver Low-E glass in the South (for superior insulation), and select single-silver Low-E glass in the North (balancing both light transmission and energy efficiency). On-site testing confirmed this—when exposed to an infrared lamp, the temperature on the opposite side of the coated surface was noticeably lower.

Check the inspection report: the thermal transmittance must be ≤2.8 W/(㎡·K) to qualify. For office building curtain walls, select the 6+12A+6 double-silver model; for home decoration doors and windows, choose the 5+9A+5 single-silver model.
