LoE-i89 Glass – Turn Your Double-Pane Windows into Triple-Pane Performers

There’s no need to go to triple-pane windows to meet the various energy-savings guidelines. No need to invest in redesigning your windows and altering your manufacturing processes either. A double pane IG unit with LoE-i89 can meet the guidelines. LoE-i89 is sputtered onto the indoor lite, the #4 surface, thus reflecting escaping heat back into the room and lowing U-factors. Coupled with our LoE³ glass and argon fill this double-pane unit delivers performance much better than clear triple-pane – a center of glass U-factor of just 0.20 compared to 0.37 with clear triple-pane.
