Description

Insulglass LowE Plus^® is an Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) that contains a high performing, Energy Efficient sputter coat Low Emissivity glass (LowE). Also known as a “softcoat”, this evolution of technology and innovation sees atomic layers of silver and metal oxides provide superior performance as well as no risk of visible haze that other traditional coatings can have.

Excellent Insulation (lower U-Value) being an advanced softcoat LowE, optimised by the use of argon gas which is supplied as standard with all Insulglass LowE Plus^® units (may exclude some specialised sizes).

Insulglass LowE Plus^® characteristics:

Energy Efficient Insulation (low U-Value).
As Clear as regular clear float glass with the same high Clarity and high Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) that maximises natural light entering inside and filling your space.
Adding a Coloured tinted glass on the external pane reduces Glare factors while offering various external aesthetic options and also improving Solar Control (low SHGC).
Privacy glass options allow the light to enter in but obscure the image.
Laminated glass on the external side adds further safety, security, acoustic performance and over 99% protection against fading factors from harmful Ultraviolet rays (UV).
All glass can be toughened or laminate used for Grade A Safety in accordance to AS/NZS 2208.

*Comparisons based on centre of glass performance data in NFRC standards between regular 6mm Clear Float Glass and 24mm or 24.38mm Insulglass LowE Plus^® Double Glazed Units of 6/12/6 or 6.38/12/6 (with a laminate), argon gas and the secondary glass pane as stated.

Other sizes available upon request, including laminated sizes. Note the required adherence to AS standard maximum size allowances per thickness and application. Tinted glass to go on external pane. Specifications should state the following key required AS standards:

All glass in general to comply with AS 1288.
All Safety Glass to also comply with AS/NZS 2208.
All IGU to also comply with AS 4666.

Insulglass LowE Plus^® coating is designed for surface #3 in a standard Double Glazed Unit (DGU). Adding a tinted Coloured glass to the external side does not change this position as tinted glass are designed to be as close to the sun as possible to absorb sun heat, stopping it from entering inside (ie. a lower SHGC).
