PLANITHERM ULTRA N | ADVANCED

Low E Glass

PLANITHERM ULTRA N is Low-E glass with advanced thermal insulation properties. It offers advanced thermal insulation properties where neutrality and excellent performance are paramount.

Windows can reflect, take in, and transfer heat, so Low E coatings can be used to enhance the performance of a window. Low E is a common abbreviation of “Low Emissivity”. Low Emissivity means a surface that gives off low levels of radiant heat. Therefore, a glass window with a Low E coating will reduce the amount of heat transfer, making your house warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Benefits

Enhanced Thermal Insulation

Optimum centre-pane U-value of 1.1 (90% argon-filled)
Helps to reduce heating requirements
Environmentally friendly solution, given the lower CO2 emissions associated with reduced energy consumption

Comfort & Aesthetics

Helps to eliminate cold areas around windows resulting in greater comfort
Maximises use of living and working areas
Reduces incidence of condensation on the inner pane
Neutral appearance in both transmission and reflection
Maximises entry of natural daylight

The diagram below outlines how heat passing through your glass reduces when you use Double Glazing, Low E Double Glazing and Glazing Argon Gas instead of Air to fill the space between the two panes of glass.

Low E Glass U-Values

What is a U-Value?

A U-value measures the rate of heat loss over a surface or material, how much heat passes through your glass. A lower U-value means lower heat transfer and better insulation of your home.
