The benefits of low-e glass
1. Save even more on heating bills - double glazed windows already have an optimised energy balance to maximise cost savings and exceed the requirements of current building regulations. Triple glazing allows a high level of solar heat gain, capturing warmth from natural daylight and drawing it into your home, combined with exceptional thermal insulation properties to keep the heat in. The outcome is a window that may well achieve and exceed the maximum "A+" window energy rating and provide an even lower U-value* for even more savings on your energy bills.
2. Maximum comfort - as with modern double glazing, the enhanced thermal efficiency of triple glazed windows ensures that cold spots are eliminated. Triple glazed windows can also be optimised to deliver excellent thermal acoustic performance - minimising noise levels from outside. This can also be achieved with acoustic laminated glass or combining different thicknesses of glass in double glazing.
3. Enhanced security - by using laminated glass in double glazing, or by having an extra pane of glass in triple glazing, greater security can be provided keeping your home safe and secure.
Thin Structure
SYSEN has a structure thinner and lighter than insulated glass.
In comparison with triple-pane insulated glass, LandVac has merely one sixth of its thickness and weighs 10 kg less per square meter while managing a much better U-value. Meanwhile, less Low-E glass layers also allow higher transmittance and improved optical transparency.
Type | U-value (w/m2K) | Visible Light Transmittance (%) | Thickness (mm) | Weight (Kg/m2) |
LandVac 4TL*+0.3V+4T | 0.48 | 70 | 8.3 | 20 |
Insulated glass 4TL*+12A+4TL*+12A+AT | 0.97 | 56 | 36 | 32 |
